"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" -Ronald Reagan

The last part of our trip was in Germany and Hungary. We went to Dresden, Germany first. It was very pretty, but rained the whole time... so, we found the nearest museum and went in! It just so happened that this museum housed Raphael's Sistene Madonna (the painting with the two baby cherubs at the bottom). It was beautiful and reminded me of my Momma :) After Dresden, we headed to Berlin. Berlin was filled with history, from the Berlin Wall to the Holocaust Memorial to Checkpoint Charlie. We also took a break and went to the Berlin Zoo for half the day. The last place we visited was Budapest. We only got to spend the day there, but I would love to go back. They're famous for their bath houses, and I wish I could have gone in one!

This last trip thoughout Europe was unforgettable. I experienced so many changes in cultures, foods, scenery, and people by visiting all these different places. I feel like I've been bitten by a travel bug... I live out of a suitcase for weeks at a time, and after a week of being back in Cyprus, I'm already craving something new. I loved this trip so much. I got to know a lot of the people on my trip a lot better than I had before, and made incredible memories with my new best friends. Paris, Amsterdam, Salzburg and Prague were my favorites, and I'm excited to return to them someday and explore more :)
