Hello friends, I am back to tell you more about my trip
around the world! Recently we have visited the country of Germany. Have any of
you been to Germany before? Common food in Germany include sausages and
pretzels. One of the favourite types of sausages, are sausages cut up and
covered in curry sauce. During one of our days in Germany, my family and I
tried one of these sausages and they were very tasty. We also tried a giant hot
pretzel. Delicious! Also on the highway in Germany there is no speed limits so
you can drive as fast as you want!

Germany is also known for the Berlin Wall. The Berlin Wall
was a big concrete wall that split the city of Berlin in half. The wall was
built after WWII when half of Berlin (the East Side) was controlled by Russia,
and the other half (the West Side) was controlled by the USA, Britain and
France. The West side was where citizens could be free, and The East Side where
they could not. To make sure that all the East German citizens did not go over
to West Side, the Russians put up a wall. This was called the Berlin wall. Some
families were not able to see each other for years because they could not pass
through the wall. Could you imagine not being able to see your family? In 1989
the German citizens destroyed the wall, and the city was once again reunited.
You can buy pieces of the wall in stores and maybe when I come to visit you one
day, I can show you the piece I bought.

On another day we visited a German concentration camp, which
was a very emotional day, but was a very important part of history. It made me
realize how lucky I am to live a long and happy life, with the people I love.
We also visited a Jewish museum to learn about the history of Jewish people in
Germany.

After our stay here we knew a lot more about Germany and
were glad we came to visit. Now it is time for me to pack up my little monkey
suitcase and head on the next leg of our journey.
