Last Saturday began our 5-day stay in Berlin. Mostly, we did rather touristy stuff and to be honest I hardy feel like I got to know the city at all - but I'd like to return to explore some more. Berlin is much bigger than Munich - the population there is almost triple what it is here. Additionally, Berlin seems to be much more spread out. Nonetheless, I had a great stay, and excellent Döner. Miss you already Mustafa's.

Graffiti was a breath of fresh air - in Munich it hardly exists at all





Atop the Bundestag/Reichstag building


A beautiful old Zionist church we found in Prenzlauer Berg 



For 1 euro we were allowed to climb up the tower
to find this incredible view of the city

There was also a running theme of "mini books" while in Berlin, I have no idea what was up with that..

There were amazing rugs and tapestries in the Islamic portion of the Museum too
Nebuchadnezzar II's Ishtar Gate

 I've been sick since I've been back - but this coming week I'm off from school, so I plan to explore the nooks and crannies of Munich more extensively.
