An Overview

           So to start off, as everyone has been talking about, our flight was a bit delayed. Nevertheless, we arrived in Berlin at about 8 o'clock p.m. on Saturday. Having been awake for basically the previous 36 hours, I slept. For a long time. I'd probably put it in my top ten best nights of sleep. The next day, we took a bike tour around Berlin with Fat Tire Bike Tours. They just took us around the city to the more touristy places like Checkpoint Charlie, the Fernsehturm, Museum Island, etc, so nothing too interesting. Our Tourguide was great though (Hannah's being super poetic and dramatic right next to me at the moment, I'll have to read her masterpiece later). Monday was just experiencing German school for the first time, which, though pretty interesting, made me cringe, because I've graduated, and I never wanted to see the inside of a high school again (yay college). Tuesday we went to Sachsenhaus, which was the concentration camp located in Oranienburg, which was obviousy one of the more serious parts of our trip. It's not pleasant but it's good to know exactly what happened, more than just the basics. People say history repeats itself, so it's our duty to know it in order to stop those things that should never be repeated. I also discovered th game of PrellBall on tuesday, which is kind of like volley ball but not quite.
