Weekend in Berlin

Instead of going to Western Denmark, all of the full year architecture students go to Berlin for the weekend. Here are a few highlights from Berlin.

Stockholm

The second weekend my parents were here, we went to visit some friends in Stockholm. We thought Copenhagen was cold until we arrived in Stockholm. The coldest we experienced there was -20C which is -9F. In spite of the bitter cold, we tried to do as much sight seeing as we could.

Is this lamp big enough?

The next place is the Round Tower in Copenhagen. It is a tower with a spiral ramp on the inside because the man that built it wanted to be able to take his horse and carriage to the top.
