Our second day in Berlin shall be known as the day of walking. We kept a steady pace all day, hitting up the Reichstag (German Parliament building), the Holocaust Memorial Museum, Humboldt University, the Sony Centre, the Victory Memorial, and my favourite, the Tiergarten. I'm sure it's a pretty straightforward route normally, but we unwittingly took the scenic tour a few times-- this is great, though, because it was a gorgeous day out.
The Tiergarten used to be royal grounds; now it's an extensive public park right in the centre of the city. Once you get about 100 m in, the sounds of traffic are muted and you're in a quiet sort of oasis. Loved it in there.
We tried to go out for dinner in the "Cool District", Frenzlauer Berg, but ended up right near our hostel in a place we'll call "Beck's"-- just because it was covered in beer signs. They had great Italian food; although it was awesome spaghetti, that only leaves us with one day to finally eat some true German food :). Wurst stand it is...
Tomorrow we'll tour around some more and then get on the night train to Munich-- hopefully an update then! It was great talking to the family back home tonight, though! :)
Papa, we're keeping you in our prayers tonight. Feel better soon!
