Sunday in Berlin


Time flies when you're having a good time. So it's already Sunday, it hardly feels like we've been here more than a few days. But it's been six. Each day has been jam packed with walking and many new sights. Today was a perfect day for walking and we did a walk along the canal here in Kreuzeberg to the Deutsches Technikmuseum complete with a DC-3 on the roof. After much more walking including a stop at Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche, a neo Gothic evangelical church. we spent quite a bit of time at the Hallesches Tor Cemetery. Forty minutes later, we had investigated many of the grave markers including Mendelssohn's. That wasn't the easiest task but we managed it.

By that point we were definitely hungry and stopped at Mustafa's Gemuse Kebab for a yummy vegetarian kebab as opposed to the Burger King we passed a bit later.

Berliners were out in force taking advantage of what may be the last warm day of the year. At 74 degrees, everyone was happy. Next week the thermometer will drop to the low sixties by Friday.

More photos later. But in the meantime, be certain to check out the flickr photos from yesterday's Penny Parade, dedicated to fun without the conspicuous consumption.
