It really is SUNday, today.  The sun is showing his face to the masses below, and also below the people are touring around the many churches. Some of us went to Dresden just for the purpose of seeing the many facets of all the different architecture.

I wanted to share with you some statements from our students, who have been absorbing all the culture as we are about to bring to a close, our three-week exchange.

STEPH: (who always seems to go first for everything - ha-ha)
"My favorite thing about Berlin was Check Point Charlie, because my grandfather was there". Below is a picture for her grandfather with his granddaughter in it with the students and one teacher. How cool is this?

MAGGIE:  "I like Berlin's TV Tower (Fernsehturm) because I like heights". Here is a picture of the students eating lunch at the top of the tower, as it rotates 360 degrees around the city. Can you feel Berlin yet? Can you feel the motion?

EMILY:  "I like the monuments in Berlin, Prague and Dresden because I like architecture, especially old-school architecture".  Below is a world clock monument in Berlin by the TV Tower.

JAKE: "Berlin is a great place to enjoy the history, the first thing that comes to my mind is the Berlin Wall". Here is an old picture showing the wall separating the East from the West.




NATE: "I was very interested in the trains and the train stations; and the steel framing that is so intricate.  I luved the food and the cars such as the Lotus and Bentleys".

PEYTON:  "The architecture is magical and there are small differences that one notices such as toilets and light switches".
