Excitement on Day 1

So it's Day 1 of my study-abroad trip...we're on a bus going from the airport to the hotel and come to a situation with stopped traffic and police everywhere, including a sharpshooter. What could we do but haul suitcases off the bus and shoot photos? A line of black limos left the Adlon Hotel and all was well again. Guess this guy was perimeter protection, along with the circling helicopter. Later we did normal activities, like get a Rostbratwurst at Alexanderplatz. It was a first for Kiva, Maggie and Sydney.
