Our choir Cantemus went on a short Christmas tour to Berlin in late December. We had two full days to explore this wonderful city, and while the day was short and it was freezing, I nonetheless tried to visit and capture as many sites as possible. On Day 1 we saw the Berlin Wall, Reichstag, Branderburg Gate, the Jewish Memorial, and many other places. |
