On Travel — Berlin, Germany and Dublin, Ireland
A few months ago, I went to Dublin and Berlin for work. I loved the trip — it was so good to see co-workers, that have become dear friends, in-person. During my trip, I took a few pictures that I wish to share. Sadly, however, I wasn’t able to take any pictures while I was in Dublin, but the people there and the atmosphere was great. I loved Dublin, Ireland and am so sad to not have pictures to share. So, what I can share are just a few pictures from my visit in Berlin, Germany.
First, the food in Germany was amazing, fancy, and very affordable. One night, we ate at a restaurant in the Sony Center and here is what I ordered — roast, potato dumplings, and sauerkraut:
My dear friend and co-worker and I drove around in his Marcedes Smart Car. I loved riding around town in this little car. These cars are so small that you don’t have to parallel park — you can just drive these in the spot horizontally and it will fit! Seriously, living in Utah and driving next to huge gas guzzlers and environmentally unfriendly vehicles everywhere, it was refreshing to see a beautifully designed and eco-friendly automobile:
While driving in the center of town, we saw this — everywhere in the world, there is a Burger King!
Here is where the Wall used to be, which is now memorialized by a brick lining:
Here’s the Brandenburg Gate at night:
Here is a memorial to remember those that died swimming across the canal from East Berlin to West Berlin. This was very humbling and solemn –
It was a great trip to both Dublin and Berlin. My co-workers and friends were so nice and accommodating and I thank them sincerely for everything.
