Would you like fries with that?

On our way to Hamburg we stopped in Volksberg, a city actually created by Hitler to be the headquarters for the VW cars. VW was started by the Nazi party as a luxury car that was meant specifically for the upper middle class. In Volksberg we visited a Zaha Hadid Museum for Science, the building was really great and the museum was sooooo much fun, it felt like I was in a playground for older kids. When we finally got into Hamburg I was pleasantly surprised by how trendy and chic it was. The Harbor City felt like the city planners just took a design studio, gave each student a building and plopped them all down within a two to three block radius from each other. It was such a fun city and next time I hope to spend longer than two days there.
