Day-trip to Berlin - Saturday, June 3

As part of our visit to Szczecin, the Rotarians provided us with a day-trip to Berlin. The German border is only 20 km from Szczecin and many people come from Germany to visit Poland and vice versa. It was a rainy day, but we had a wonderful time and are very grateful for the Rotarians and their wives from Szczecin who accompanied us. Of course, we made time to sample the German pastries and the German chocolate! Thank you!

The World Cup is starting in Germany on June 9. The town was buzzing with soccer fever and we saw people from many of the countries that will be playing in the next month.



We had the opportunity to visit several historical sites in Berlin that were very meaningful including the Berlin Wall and Checkpoint Charlie.





We also visited a new Holocaust memorial that was recently constructed.



We had a great time in Berlin!
