We spent a few hours at the Berlin Zoo. We loved it!

We caught all these bee's at lunch.


A beautiful square with 2 churches.


We took a flight through Ryan air to Berlin. 21st -27th. We enjoyed seeing the sights and all the history that is there. So much has happened there in the last 20yrs.




We saw all the sights you could imagine. Check point Charlie, Reichstag, whats left of the wall(we even brought home a small piece of it), the Jewish memorials, and Sachsenhausen concentration camp, Palace. We even went to visit one of Laura's Friends and go to a celebration for Uruguay's Independence day. We enjoyed Berlin very much. We took a very long train ride to Dresden to spend a day before we went back to Berlin to fly home. Dresden was beautiful. The architecture was amazing. It started to pour down rain around 4pm so our sight seeing was cut short. We had fortunately made it to 99.9% of everything we wanted to see. We just had to miss the new town. The long train ride was worth the trip. Dresden is a city I recommend to everyone. We loaded the train and then rushed to our plane. We are now home and kicking up our feet. We have walked and seen so much. I hope you enjoy the pics.

A funny little video. My daughter and her awesome imagination!

We saw so much more then I was able to post here. Sorry it took soooooo long.
