I enjoyed the museums and architecture of Munich (A). Reached Berlin (B) May 5th. Berlin is a clean, beautiful city which had more neon lights than any city I had yet seen. It also had beautiful palaces and elaborate theaters. I liked the Pergamon Museum containing restorations of Greek and Roman architecture and the Vorderasiatisches Museum with palaces of enameled brick excavated in Babylon. Potsdam (C) was a real center of beautiful architecture and paintings and landscapes.

Reached Frankfurt (D) am Main May 11th and caught river boat for trip down the Rhine to Cologne. Enjoyed the great three-spired cathedral the Dom, of Gothic style. It supposedly has relics presented to the Savior by the Three Wise Men. Rhine Valley scenery and castles also beautiful.
