Day 3 - Berlin
Today we explored the Alexanderplatz area of Berlin. Alexanderplatz is filled with trendy shopping. However we were not there for shopping, we were headed to the German History Museum.
After leaving the museum we went checked out the nearby churches. In St. Friedrichswerdersche kirche (church) Jennifer pointed out that the walls of the church, which look like marble was actually faux painting. The church was likely destroyed during the Wars and this was the way the restored the church. Now the church is used to exhibit marble statues.
We went back to Potsdamer platz to see the Reichstag building again. This time we go in and take the elevator to the glass dome that sits atop the building.

The inside shot at the church of all the marble statues is the business! The stained glass adds a cool color mix to the shot.
That glass dome looks cool but, I'd probably get tired of trouncing up that spiral walkway halfway through and give up, lol.
