My first trip overseas was to Germany, and Berlin was the first city I was able to tour. I took my Canon PowerShot SD850IS with me to see how well it could perform on a fun trip with less purpose of 'photography' and more of a 'documentation' of my travels. This first gallery highlights my first half of my first day in Berlin, including my arrival at the airport, to traveling to East Berlin, to taking a river tour down the River Spree which divided East and West Berlin. Many of the city's most important buildings and historical sights are situated on the banks of the River Spree.
