| Six
Pebblebrook students and one
from South Cobb HS visited Berlin and Hamburg the first and second weeks in June with Herr Perkins. The trip was the 1st time several students had journeyed to another country.

| Our
trip included many of Berlin's must see attractions: the Kaiser Wilhelm
Memorial Church, Reichstag, a Spree boat tour, Alexander Platz, the Berlin
Cathedral, Pergamon Museum, Gendarmenmarkt, Charlottenburg Palace and the
Olympic Stadium. There was also a somber visit to the Plötzensee
Memorial Center.
Potsdamer Platz, with its gleaming, futuristic buildings, proved to be everyone's favorite Berlin spot. A trip to Filmpark Babelsberg was somewhat disappointing since most of the students have worked at Six Flags over Georgia. This comparison notwithstanding, the students enjoyed the S-Bahn ride to Babelsberg which gave them an opportunity to see Berlin's lake district and the city of Potsdam which was less hectic than Berlin. A day trip to Hamburg turned out to be the highlight of the tour. After arriving by train, we did a walking tour of the city center. We walked the area from the main train station to the Rathausmarkt. Our journey then took us to the Gansemarkt with a stop along the way at the Alsterarkaden for some shopping. The next stop was the Jungfernstieg. The views there were so spectacular that we decided to board a boat for a leisurely tour of the Binnen- and Außenalster Lakes. On the train ride back to Berlin, some students decided they liked Hamburg more than Berlin because the water gave it more charm. We hope the pictures on these pages capture some of the spirit and fun of our trip!! |

| Breakfast at our hotel included the typically German bread, rolls, boiled eggs, cheese, cold meats, nutella, coffee and orange juice. David, Chris and Keith are probing their first "Frühstück" while Herr Perkins watches Ronda, Ashley, L'Erin and Shemario as they dig into their meal. The girls ate lots of nutella on rolls while the guys tried some of everything. |
