On Day 3 of this trip, it was time to head to Berlin. I slept in a bit, which left only a little time for exploring along the way.

Welcome to Berlin!

Berlin, Germany
The Berlin Victory Column rises against a heavy grey overcast sky, topped by a gilded winged statue of Victoria holding a wreath and staff, with the dark fluted column decorated with gold cannon barrels and a colonnaded base below.

The Fernsehturm (TV Tower) was built during the Communist era to broadcast radio and TV signals throughout Eastern Germany. Today it is a popular tourist attraction with a restaurant that offers panoramic views of the entire city. (Sadly, I didn’t have time to go.)

The Berlin Fernsehturm TV tower rises against a clear deep-blue evening sky, its slender concrete shaft topped by a spherical observation deck and a tall red-and-white antenna spire. Dark silhouetted treetops frame the bottom of the frame, with the glass facade of the Park Inn hotel visible at the lower right.

Looking forward to the next few days at the European Identity Conference!
