10/4/2013 - Dresden, Germany
Dresden was incinerated in World War II, then suffered under the communists with the rest of East Germany. I had expected it to be a depressing visit: a reminder of war and failed government. I was happy to be wrong. Over the last ten years, Dresden has been impressively restored.
The old part of town has many restored sights, but the new town is also alive. I first stopped at a festival to eat something called "Dresdner Krauterhandbrot," then headed to the hip Louisenstrasse for the early evening. A good day trip from Berlin.
