The furthest I have traveled

4,380 miles from Chicago could be anywhere, this is how far I have traveled. It’s funny this question has popped up. I am currently going to make this trip again. Oh and it is a joyful experience as I am going to see my daughter and her family.

I look forward to it every year, Berlin is a beautiful city, it is birthplace of Beethoven, Einstein and Nietzsche, Germany offers far more to its visitors than its reputation for efficiency, bratwurst and beer, although that’s a good reason to visit.

It can be said that it’s one of the most overlooked vacation destinations in Europe, its cosmopolitan cities are filled with historical charm as well as cutting-edge architecture and contemporary quirks. Some of the sites of Berlin, include Checkpoint Charlie, the remnants of its infamous wall and trendy open-air markets.

The open markets are great especially during the holiday season. So if you are looking for a place that is not so popular with tourist check out my son in-laws city, Berlin.
