Berlin's First Days

May 16 was a great day for pictures. Not only did the Sun finally make an appearance but the adventure we had opened the doors for great photography. Our day started with a tour of the museums and a few somewhat significant  historical places. East German architecture, unlike that of the west, is full of life and drama. It stands out from among the massive but plain west German architecture. We saw more of the city that we would have just by walking around on our own up to this point. We met characters that lend to the essence of what the true Berlin is and used photography to capture images like no other has before us. So far Berlin, Germany has been fun and after the time and trouble I had getting here I feel entitled to be rewarded. And the ferry ride later in the evening was just the sort of reward I had in mind.
