My second day in Germany, I went to the beautiful town of Dresden. There are so many things to do, so I decided to take a walk through the Old Town. Most of it was destroyed during WWII but, it has been restored to its former elegance. I then decided to walk and see the Zwinger Palace. It had several museums in it and over two-thousand paintings, including one from the famous Raphael. After I visited everything there, I went to the Semper Opera House that burnt down in both 1869 and 1945 but the building that stands there today is an exact replica. After this, it was around three in the afternoon, so I decided to go to lunch. Today I tried the Maultaschen which is pasta stuffed with spinach and a minced meat, looks like ravioli. It was very good; I think it may end up being my favorite. After lunch, I went to the Frauenkirche. It was designed by George Bähr during the eighteenth century. The church had a usually large 314-foot dome. It was also destroyed during WWII but, has been restored to its former glory. To end the night I went and stayed at the Hilton Dresden.
