Berlin

A college trip to Berlin.  26 students.  2 Tutors.  And 1 bus driver with a twirling mustache...
                                                       (There he is! The mustache man...)












(Taken within the maze of monuments that is Berlin's Holocaust Memorial)  

(Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz : This was the undergound station that was right outside St. Christopher's, the hostel where we were staying.)
(and the trains were always packed full of people..)


(The architecture was amazing...

...and so was the nightlife)


                                                         (Above: work by artist Kathe Kolliwitz)





Over the five days we travelled to several of Berlin's largest art galleries and saw countless works by brilliant artists, some of which included: Pablo Picasso, Alberto Giacometti, Andy Warhol, John McCracken and Henri Matisse.

Andy Warhol



Without sounding arrogant, Andy Warhol's pieces were much larger and more impressive than I would have previously assumed.  I was pleasantly surprised.
