Hello from Berlin! Giraffe and I have arrived safely. On our first day, we relaxed and got to sleep. It is hard to adjust to the time difference. Germany is 5 hours ahead of the United States right now. So if it's 8:00 am here, it's only 3 am in the US.
After a relaxing day, we decided that on Wednesday we would go out and explore. We saw many historical and famous Berlin sites. Giraffe loved exploring.

We did something really cool, too! Berlin has the fastest elevator in the world so we took it! It takes you up to the 24th floor in 20 seconds! Here is a photo from the top of the building. The tallest point is the TV Tower and it's a symbol of East Berlin.
After walking around a bit more, we had a very traditional lunch - Curry Wurst mit Frits. It's like a sausage and fries. You can find Curry Wurst all over, as well as people. There are people everywhere... on bikes, walking, or just spending time in the park.
After lunch, we had gelato and walked home. We are about to have dinner now for Mike's birthday! Will write more soon. Giraffe and I will be going into the school maybe Thursday but definitely Friday. Can't wait to share about our time there.
Sent with Love, Miss Deppen and Giraffe
Your lunch looks yummy! Berlin looks delightful to live there because you get to see beautiful views! That elevator is really fast! Wow! I wish I could live there right now and explore like you are! Good luck at school! Would you be able to post a picture of your apartment/place you are living for us?
