We're still here in Berlin, but our time here is getting shorter and shorter. This makes me sad in a lot of ways. I will miss my quick walks to the neighborhood grocery store (Rewe), the beautiful weather (which yes even includes the sun that shines from 4am-10pm), the beautiful buildings, the quiet atmosphere, our European flat/home with the playground and fountains across the street, the bakery below us with delicious fresh pastries and breads baked to German perfection. The organic ice cream shop that beckons us at least twice a week will leave and ache in my sweet tooth. And, I will absolutely miss our Saturday family days where we tour around the city and discover all the perks that come with being in such an historical, eccentric, bustling place. My new German friends have made a permanent place in my heart and I will miss seeing them as well (this is something I don't even want to write about yet). Yes I will miss it here, but I still have a few more weeks and I plan on enjoying every little piece of this place that I can. And, of course I do miss you USA but that's for another posting...
Two weekends ago we headed to the East side Gallery and checked out the wall art that resides on some of the last remains of the wall.
The gallery sits directly beside this little river, and the view is pretty fab. This picture was taken on the bridge that connects East to West.
And across the bridge we found a quaint little "farm," situated in the middle of some random place in East Berlin. We never would have found it without the recommendation of our local pals.
And right behind the farm was a park the kids indulged in after we ate our picnic lunch.
And, of course no trip is complete without riding a train or several throughout the city. This is one of Henry's favorite parts of Berlin. It never gets old for that kid.
Here's Henry enjoying a late afternoon snack of milk and cookies. I had to get a picture of his little black/chocolate tooth, it was even funnier in person.
