Berlin Day 9: The Return Home

After having one of the best nights together in Berlin, we all woke up the following morning very early in order to start our journey back home. While nothing too exciting happened during our flight or in the airport, the time was spent reliving the best moments of the trip, which made it so much more enjoyable!
Berlin is such a fun, exciting, and unique city, which makes it difficult for one to not have a great time. It is also filled with such an important and intriguing history that is easy to see while simply walking through the streets. Berlin was an excellent choice for this trip because the information that we learned at the numerous museums, monuments, and sites we visited throughout our stay in Germany complemented what we have learned in our various history classes at WJU.



During our flight home, we spent our time recalling stories from the trip. These stories made it clear that we all learned so much about the long history of the city while also having a great time filled with excitement and laughter. We joked about our tour guide from the Olympic Stadium, discussed our favorite food from the city as well as our favorite meals, laughed about Dr. Liedel being run over by a bicycle, and, of course, spent time playing the official game of the trip: charades. While reminiscing made leaving even more difficult, it made us realize how much fun we had and how many memories we created!

During the trip, we all grew closer and became friends with people we didn’t know well before. It was exciting to meet and learn about one another throughout the week and share some great moments together. As students, we all learned innumerable things about Berlin's unique history as well as those of other city's such as Potsdam and Dresden. Overall, the trip was an amazing and rewarding experience that we are all thankful to have had!
