My Chariot Awaits! (Diesel Fume Jalopy! I was sitting on the top, in the back, I was almost knocked-out by the Diesel FUMES from this rig! Only 15 euros, and guaranteed to get you "high!" P U !!)
A remaining section of the Berlin Wall - still standing.
"SAVE" ... and they did.
I woke up feeling about a thousand percent better, so I couldn't wait to head out and explore. Since it was raining (the weather here has been nuts; it rains for five minutes, then the sun for five minutes, then rain, then sun - Perfect RAINBOW weather - and Beautiful SKIES!) and I was just recently healed of my head-cold, I thought it might be a good idea to sit on a tour bus for an hour or two, instead of traipsing around in the rain. I walked to Brandenburg Gate and hopped a two hour tour bus for fifteen euros. It was a great way to see the city on a rainy day, and I became well versed on some historical sites and city history (although had a bit of difficulty deciphering all of it via the "English" narration in heavy Deutchland dialect!) The photos I took are in the Slide Show below.
Walked all around the historical neighborhood where I'm staying tonight and had an AMAZING pizza. I think it was "Turkish Pizza" or something. Wafer-thin crust and seasoned with ROSEMARY! Delicious! Tons of bars, cafes, ethnic restaurants, old churches, record stores, and a lot of old, BEAUTIFUL used bookshops.
The books are meticulously arranged, like works of ART. These bookshops seem more like museums. Lovingly presented. Great care and respect into the display and selling - "Typically European" from what I have garnered in my short four week tenure here. Beautiful. ;-)
