Arrivals and Delays

Tuesday is our first day in Berlin. Unfortunately, three of our team members will not be able to join us until tomorrow morning – the perils of international travel. A modest agenda for the first day involved exploring Alexanderplatz as well as a few places of interest that sit along the main east/west rail spine that bisects this capital city – namely, the East Side Gallery, Hackescher Markt, and the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church.

We are excited to be joined by the remaining group members within hours. By midday tomorrow we should be all together as we take in a walking tour of downtown Berlin. Some pics from our first day are below.

One observation from the day…”This place [Old Jewish Cemetery] makes me feel as if a huge section of a community has just been ripped out.”
