Dresden!!!!

Dresden is definitely the most beautiful city I have been to in Germany. I absolutely love it! With all the talk I've heard of East Germany not being very pretty because of all the destruction, I expected to see nothing but crappy buildings. Boy, was I wrong! Even though there are some ugly soviet stacked housing buildings, the city has rebuilt tons of buildings that were destroyed during the war and put memorials all over the town. Everywhere you go there is something cool to see! And... there is a HUGE mall!

Today, we went on a four hour tour of Dresden. Good thing I had my Cola Light!

 Just absolutely beautiful!

 

There were statues EVERYWHERE!

 How could you not love this city?

I can't reiterate enough how much I loved Dresden! I wish I had more pictures of everything, but alas, I suck at taking pictures. Maybe I will be better in Berlin? Maybe...
This was our welcoming wagon (quite literally) once we entered Berlin today. I have a feeling this is going to be an interesting next couple of days...

We just got to our hotel in Berlin, and we are going to celebrate my 21st tonight! It's a wii bit early, but who cares? Birthdays should last for a week right? Wish me luck!

Tschüss!
