Last day...

Well, it's been a whirlwind five days here in Berlin. I'm leaving in a few minutes for Tegel Airport to catch my Air Berlin flight to Frankfurt, and from there, the long plane ride back to Atlanta.

Berlin is a fascinating city - even though much of the city was destroyed in the second World War, the juxtaposition of the old and new, rather than jarring, seems to emphasize the continuity of the city. One need only to view the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, the "Gedachtniskirche" to understand.

It's been too short a visit. Berlin remains at the top of my list of cities that I want to visit again. I'll be back.
