Berlin!

Me and Cayle (another student in PSE) visited our friend, Cathleen, that we met in Finland, but is from Berlin.  We had so much fun!  She met us at the train station and we stayed with her and her family in their home.  I really felt at home because she was so hospitable!  She gave us the Marco Polo guide books of Berlin and made sure we saw all the main sights!  We also had a famous German food: Currywurst und Pommes (a type of sausage and fries with lots of ketchup and curry seasoning).  After that, curry has become my new favorite seasoning!

Brandenburger Tor

 The best Currywurst in Berlin called, "Curry 36"

We went to a museum, The Story of Berlin about the history of Germany......

This shows how Germany was split up among the different countries....

In Germany, the have these donut-like pastries that are filled with jam on the inside.  They call them kraupfens.  And this one is called a Berlina.  There is also a Muncher and an Americana.
