Berlin to ROMA

Hey everybody!!!

Berlin was awesome. After all the drama missing trains and changing trains 5 different times to get to Berlin I was extremely happy to have a place to stay and meet up with Shawn. Berlin was a really cool city. We went to all the shops around the Crown Plaza where we were staying and visited all sorts of different places I had a hard time pronouncing. There was a beautiful park in the middle of the city and filled with several beer gardens and cool places to hang out. Marcello met up with us and took us around to some cool sites. One particularly cool place was the Reichstag which is basically Berlin's main goverment building. We went to the Haus Der 100 Biers and tried a few new flavors. On the last day we were in Berlin, Shawn and I rented bikes and traveled all over the city and ended up at a Harley Davidson festival. This was pretty cool and we had a good time walking around checking out the hundreds of different bikes and ate some good food. Overall Berlin was fun.

Rome was beautiful. This first video is taken in a train station in Frankfurt on the way to Roma. Give you an idea of how we have been traveling and I thought it was pretty funny. I don't have of the pictures that we took at the Vatican on my computer, but I have some cool photos of other things we did in Roma. We ate pizza and drank wine everyday and walked around to see different sites including the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, and Coliseum. Roma was a wonderful place to visit but we came at the hottest time of the year and were anticipating the ocean breeze and sunny beaches to come in Sardinia. I really enjoyed the Sistine Chapel and all the artwork at the Vatican particularly the map room. It was neat to see how geographers viewed everything back then and were able to record everything including topography. We would end up at the Coliseum every night really late and were pretty much mesmerized for hours. It was beautiful. I really enjoyed Roma and hope to go back soon.
