Berlin in a nut shell


Four days in Berlin and still so much to see! As I was leaving the hotel Friday morning at 4:30 am! i looked around the quiet city and reflected on the past couple days.

Day one we went on a bike tour through the town. I figured after riding through Berlin for 4 hours I might have some idea of how to get anywhere, but afterward I was just as lost as before. We didn't even see a majority of the city! I never realized just how big Berlin was.

Over the last three days we went to several Museums and hospitals. I found the MRI machine at the Charite University Hospital a lot of fun. But the coolest things of all were the technological advances they showed us to help aid in surgery. It reminded me how you don't have to go to medical school to help out in the medical industry. Physics and computer science are just as important especially in advancing our ability to get medical care specialists to everyone everywhere, even if there isn't a specialist in that area.

The last night was a lot of fun and a very touching time for all of us as we reflected on our favorite parts and how we have all grown as a group. And we celebrated by all going out together to one of the coolest "clubs" I have ever been to. It was like icing on my cake called trip to Europe. Thank you everyone for your help in making this trip so amazing. I have enjoyed getting to know everyone and hope to see all of you even if it is while I'm working at the Rock wall.

Guten Tag Berlin!
Stephanie
