Memories of Berlin…

Gotta say that I had an excellent time getting to know Berlin. Miriam and Tobi were phenomenal hosts (who I continue to thank profusely), and took lots of time showing me around. I just got so much more out of being there than I could have ever expected. I look forward to seeing Berlin again soon.
The first pic I took in Berlin was of this window for a tanning salon. It was called 'Sonnenstudio Daytona Beach', so I couldn't resist getting a shot. The owner came out and bitched at me after taking the photo.

Miriam lazing at home.

Tobi getting creative with my camera. He's a pro photographer you know.
Tobi, a friend of his, Kristof, and me all waiting to get into the tour of the bunker site.
Here's the gang enjoying currywurst after the bunker tour.

Miriam, by a section of the old Berlin Wall.
This plaque on the ground, along with a brick line, marks where the Berlin Wall stood for 38 years.
The former 'wall' line follows its course across streets, showing where the wall used to be.
Me, standing on both sides of the 'wall' line.
Here's Potsdamer Platz, which until recently was nothing more than an empty railyard.
Me, at a see-through display
Miriam, and me, admiring the suspended roof at a major center in Potsdamer Platz.
