Some of us arrived in Berlin early - around noon.  We didn't have a meeting until 6, so we set out for a bus tour of Berlin.  We are staying in the Arcotel Velvet.  It's very nice.  It's been interesting throughout this trip to figure out how to use the sinks, showers, and toilets.  By the way, it's proper to say "toilet" instead of restroom or bathroom.
My room.  Pretty funky.



View from my room.



Photos from the bus tour -  I'll post these later.  I very tired and ready to go to bed!

OK, I'm back...
