iur first full day Berlin

Patti and 8 did a workout today.   We left the Sheridan shotel  at about 0900 arriiving back here about 2000
we walked withthe tour guide named Jess, a Jewish /Student of history now at Hum bolt U working on a grad degree in history.  No doubt from his history background he covered in his first talk about nine centuries of history starting with the early beginnings whenGermany was just a disparate group through the many "duchy" states to the joining together . I think in 1813, against the Danes. when for this group under the Prussians they  dealt well together. so they might as well be together to the craziness after WWI and the Versailles agreement some of the nastiness of that agreement and the slippery way in which Hitler came to power to the cold war ,to the reunification, to the present......wow
we ended the day along  a piece of the wall  and the hall of Terror and an expose of the SS

We ended our day in the swimming pool and eating at an Italian restaurant
