Berlin is an interesting trip through history. It is a busy, thriving city, with remnants of the Berlin wall, the Holocaust, and some incredible rebuilt architecture since the bombing from WWII.
The Holocaust Memorial opened in 2005, and is a tribute to the Murdered Jews of Europe. The design consists of stone columns of various heights on a sloping field. The columns are designed to produce an uneasy, confusing atmosphere - which it completely does. Josh got lost for 10 minutes before he found us on the other end of the memorial:)
We made reservations and got through the rebuilt parliament building: Reichstag Building. After being essentially destroyed in WWII, it was rebuilt with an ultra-modern dome withe mirrors and a spiral staircase:
