Berlin...Auf Wiedersehen

Not that I know much German but glad my mom taught me many key phrases and numbers! Most know some English here but if not those phrases have been just enough to squeak by...

Today we started at Dunkin Donuts!!! Like I said before I don't think we are gonna lose weight but with all the walking probably didn't gain any either.

Searched for some Soviet world time clock but couldn't find it...darnit Rick failed us again.

Next went to the German History Museum...VERY interesting but I don't know if I'm just exhausted or a sugar crash but had a hard time staying awake. Spent about 3 hours there. Much more interesting than the Louvre in both of our opinions.

Ate something, bratwurst or hot dog or something, at a street fair stand.

Walked to Lady Victory...we couldn't remember all the details from yesterday but we think the gold pillars are all battles that they won. The lady faces Paris to again thumb their nose at the French.

Tried to find Wilhelm's church. Again per Rick Steves it's supposed to be one of the only ruins left in the city not patched back together. Finally when we did find it there's stuff all around it so you couldn't see it from the outside and the inside was closed when we arrived! Boo!

Right by the church they were having some sort of world fair so we hung out there a bit.

Back to the hostel, which I forgot to mention our view is the Soviet's TV tower...went to the supermarket to get food and snacks for tomorrow a we travel by train for 10 hours to Krakow, Poland. Great Mexican burritos, and cheap, for dinner.

Randy and I are exhausted. 6 weeks is probably too long but luckily only 2 week left and we can slow down some. :) We are getting too old for this.
