Berlin Day 2 (by Trevor)

Today we had a busy day planned. A were gong to get up early and line up to see the dome at Reitstagge (the german parliment). It is a huge dome in that overlooks the sessions, and it's free to the public. We wanted to beat the lines and get there early. We didn't and had to wait for about an hour and a half, they told us it would be only an hour. We got in finally, and headed up. It was cool when you first got in, there was a central columns covered in mirrors, all at different angles, put all pointing down towards parliment but not directly. I thought as we were traveling up the staircase along the outsides all the mirrors would point directly into parliment, but they didn't and it was dissapointing. We climbed to the top and checked out the view. It wasn't worth the hour and a half wait.

We then decided to go back to the Holocost memorial, that we saw on the tour the day before. There was an information center below. It was very enlightening and sombering. At some points you think to yourself how could people be so cruel? It was hard to read all the stories, but they had some interestig ones from survivors and the hardships that they suffered.

After that we headed to see a church that had been bombed in WW2, but instead of tearing it down they left it as a reminder. That was cool, but the church that they built to replace it was even cooler. It had blue stain glass windows, cut into squares, all the way around the church.

After this, we were all pretty exhausted so we headed back to our hostel for a nap. When we got in the room, there was a pair of blank panties hanging on the ladder to go up to my bed. And they weren't Ambers. They must have been by the lockers and the cleaning lady put them their, but there was another girl staying in the room, so we moved them to her side. Below her bed, there was an Irish guy, so for good measure we made sure he could see them, you never know they might be his.

We then headed for dinner and we ate outsite, even though it was 10 degrees, because they had heatlamps and blankets, quite ammusing. As we were leavong dinner We saw a bachelorette selling condoms, again quite ammusing.

After dinner we made our way back and called it a night. By this time the panties were placed on my moms bed, so obviously no ones and we just through them out.
