Out Berlin trip was postponed several times because our students had Saturday
classes added, then exams. We still had time to see most of the highlights. This
included a tour that covered much of town with the Brandenberger Tor, Riechstag,
part of the Berliner Mauer, Jewish Memorial,
Checkpoint Charlie, and site of Hitler's bunker.
