Breif first day in Berlin

This morning we got up early to go on a "Discover Berlin Walk" through a company called Original Berlin Walks. It was about a 3.5 to 4 hour walk that covered all of the main sites: the Berlin Wall, Hitler's Bunker, Checkpoint Charlie, Brandenburg Gate, TV Tower, and many more. Tracy liked not having to navigate the streets with our map for a change. After the walk we wondered around and found a Salvidor Dali museum to go through since it was so hot outside and Tracy's shoulders were looking pink from the sun. The Dali museum housed mostly his lithographs and watercolors which you usually don't see in books. Feeling a bit hungry we backtracked and took more pictures spending more time at the places we liked. We ate a Wiener for dinner near Pariser Platz and headed back to the Circus Hostel where we are staying. We stopped of f here and there to take pictures, look in stores, or become part of a street performance. We were asked to become the "back stage doors" by holding out our arms for some street dancers. Now we are calling it a night and plan to just see how we feel for tomorrow.
