We are in Berlin! Sun evening we met our host students, Katharine is mine and she is such a sweet person! I have be very lucky with both of my host students, and that in itself has been a great experience.
Yesterday we did a bike tour of Berlin. It mostly was history of the wall,from how it developed to its effects on the people. It is hard to put in to words the powerful emotions the wall caused in me a person who was to young to remember when it fell let alone remember when Berlin was still divided. It is still hard to imagine what it was really like since Berliners have made a point to grow and develop it the dead zone to emphasize that era is over and Berliners are one.
I have learned so much about our history from learning about German history.
Today we get to visit lectures at the Berlin vet school. They should be interesting!
