Berlin

Berlin was a pretty interesting place to visit. We were able to drive around and you can still see how different east and west Berlin were. You could still tell with all the cookie cutter apartments and block buildings, that it was part of east Berlin. 

 The day we walked around Berlin was another cold, windy, and rainy day. So we put on our coats grabbed our umbrellas and were on our way. I think it would be a must see would be the Brandenburg Gate. It was pretty neat to see and say now that I have seen a pretty well known landmark :)

 So as we were walking Mark pointed out these guys that sell these bratwursts on the streets of Berlin. It was pretty funny to see but the man in red behind me had this little grill hooked on the front of him.  He cooks the brats and hooked on his back like in a little backpack is his gas source that hooks in to his grill. And of course also hooked on his back is the umbrella. So we ran over and for 1.50 Euro he put the brat in a little bun and it was delicious! Probably the best one I had!

 Berlin is also very proud of their little walking guy. When you cross the street and you have the red guy telling you not to cross and the green one telling you your good to cross. But I guess only in Berlin he has this little hat on. Behind they even have stores that you can get your own little walking man with a hat merchandise ;)

 I can't remember why they have these bears all over the city but they were fun to spot. Each one is standing/posing differently and painted different. This one of course was for the Olympics. 

 One of our last destinations was the world clock. It would tell you anytime in the world it was. 

After a fun filled morning it was time for a pastry and hot chocolate ;) There are no shortages around Germany for a pastry shop they are about on every corner or town. It was nice to warm up a bit and get out of the rain :)
