Europe is a very fascinating region. Everything about there is amazing, especially the alps, the architecture, and the food. I've been to Europe twice so far. The first time I was there in 2009 where I traveled to just Germany, and again in 2011 where I visited Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Lichtenstein.
The German culture has always been very interesting to me. I am not German, but the history has always been interesting to read about. I feel there is never enough time to see everything at once. It seems there is always something new to learn when visiting a new area, and even an area twice.

This is a picture of the first time I went to Germany in 2009. Ironically, Berlin was the first town I ever visited. We were only there for two days, so I will be happy to return there and learn more about Berlin's history and possibly return to a few areas I discovered the first time.

Last time I was here, they were sandblasting the berlin wall, and making it into art. I would like to see what they've added to it. The top photo is what the wall looked like before they sandblasted it, and the bottom photo is an example of what they turned it into. Another note to add about Berlin is they have over 200 bear statues in there. I would really like it see if I can find more of the bears. 

The only other area that will be returning to is Dresden. I really want to go into the Church of Our Lady this time. Last time there was a wedding being held, so I was only able to look at it from the outside. From the Architecture, I bet it's really beautiful in there. 

This is Frau Miller. She is one of the main people that got me interested in Germany and the culture. One day I was just sitting in Algebra class, and the next thing I know, I'm signed up to go to Germany. Since I was not in her German class, she would allow me to come to her classroom during my free period and learn German and a little about the history. Ever since the first time I went, I just can't get enough.

I am very fortunate and excited about going a third time. The weather will be different, and I'll get to explore new areas that I've never been to. I would like to keep on strengthening my German, and just learn more about the culture and history. I would like to focus a little more on the architecture this time and since will be there in december, learn how they celebrate christmas out there.
