Globetrotter’s Corner

Katrina Cardillo • July 10, 2025

Up, up, and away! This past May, Shawn immersed himself in the rich history and culture of Berlin and Dresden, Germany. In Berlin, the capital city, Shawn explored iconic landmarks such as the Brandenburg Gate, a neoclassical monument that once stood at the heart of a divided city and now symbolizes unity and peace. During his time there, he visited the Berlin Wall, or what remains of it, which serves as a powerful reminder of the Cold War, with the East Side Gallery transforming a section into an open-air art installation that tells stories of resistance and hope. 

 

Just a two-hour train ride away, Shawn ventured to enchanting Dresden, well known for its exquisite architecture. Among the places he visited was the Zwinger Palace, adorned with ornate pavilions and lush courtyards, a true royal experience. Together, these attractions in Berlin and Dresden marked a memorable trip and an unforgettable journey through German history.
