Nina and Crosby Take on Berlin

Thanks to a generous donation to our program, Crosby and I had the opportunity to travel to Berlin for a long weekend. Despite the very hot weather, we were able to see many of Berlin’s important buildings and museums. We did many of the “traditional” things to do when in Berlin, like visiting the East Side Gallery or the Brandenburger Tor. But we also visited places like the Schwules Museum and even climbed to the top of the Berliner Dom! Our trip was rich in history and culture, and we hope we can go back to explore Berlin again sometime in the future.

Crosby and I at the Brandenburger Tor, the first monument we visited.
East Side Gallery: It was moving to think about the East Germans who were shot at that Wall when they tried to overcome it to flee to the West.
