Berlin Bonanza

An August 2000 trip to Berlin by Lacy

Quote: The Illinois Humanities Council participated in a teacher exchange with Hamburg and Berlin, Germany this past summer. The Illinois group left Chicago for 9 days in Germany on Aug 23 and returned on Sept 1, 2000. For a baker's dozen of unknown and unfamiliar people, the 13 people gelled quickly into a cohesive band of renegades. Few spoke German, but all were willing to "seek and ye shall find" in their approach to sites and cities never before visited. The twin citiy visits were underscored with enhancements from the America House in both Berlin and Hamburg.

Hotel | "Allegro Hotel"

Quote:
This is a business class hotel which offers a first rate location right outside the main train terminal in the eastern sector. It is within walking distance of the Museum Isle and other tourists sights. It is right behind the world famous Berliner Theater, Bertol Brecht's home theater. The rooms are for 1 or 2 and the hotel offers a truly hearty breakfast as part of the price.
