Walking tour!!!

Today was good!! Amanda and I met up with a few other students who are studying abroad at our school and went on a walking tour.  One of the German students took us around, it was a LONG day of walking but we saw some really amazing stuff.  We met at Gendarmenmarkt Square, in the middle at the Friedrich Schiller Statue, a famous German poet.  Surrounding the statue is the Französischer Dom, Deutscher Dom and the Konzerthaus.  From there we walked to the Checkpoint Charlie and saw the remains of the Berlin Wall.  Then we went to the Berliner Dom, and Museum Island!!
