On Friday, May 9, AJY went as a group for a 3-day study-trip to Berlin.  We of course were taught all about the GDR time, the wall, the history of the city itself, etc.  But we also had a good amount of free time to have a blast in one of the most happening cities in Germany!

Construction of the wall began on the other side
The Brandenberg Gate, among the most famous sights in Berlin.

Oooooo, touristy...
The inner part of the dome above the parliament building

Whyever would there be protesters here?
The entry to the street the US Embassy is on

Though why it went to Berlin, I don't know...
A gate imported to the Pergamon Museum all the way from Nebuchadnezzar's time in Bablyon

Christi dear, there is no sign of rain...

Another overdose of symbolism
The "Memory Room" at the Jewish Museum

Yippee! Politics!!
What trip to Berlin would be complete without a visit to the parilament building and its glass dome?

Not another Gruppenfoto! Nooooooooo
AJY students talked out, as usual

A bunch of really old sculptures
The entry of the Pergamon Museum on the Museum Island

Look at all the pretty lights...

WAY too much symbolism for me...

Oh no, you can't be tired at the BEGINNING!

The Berliner Dom. I've never actually been in there.

Very intricate
