May 21, 2009- Berlin Day 1

After we landed in Berlin, we went straight to our hotel (five blocks from the airport) to drop off our luggage. Jet lagged and half asleep, we took a walking tour of Berlin. We saw all the famous sights and got to know the town. Later in the day we had some free time so Joy and I went to the top of the TV Tower. There was a plethera of gypsies begging for money and if we heard the phrase "Speak English?" from one of them one more time we may have gone insane. Before dinner, we went the a German pub where Millikin paid for my first ever German beer. Then we had a traditional Russian meal to end our first night in Germany.
