At the beginning of June Mark and I took a vacation in Berlin for a few days. We really enjoyed Berlin! It was clean, convenient, almost everyone spoke English, we had great food, and it was fun learning about its history. It was a short vacation, so we weren’t able to cover everything in the city. We did spend a day outside of the city in Potsdam, a day in the Berlin Zoo, and went to a classical concert at the Konzerthaus Berlin.
Mark was so nice he got us a room at this very nice hotel. I enjoyed several cups of espresso everyday from the espresso machine in the room!
Museum Island
Brandenburg Gate (and Yoda)
Berlin Philharmonic Hall. I’m a big fan of the Philharmonic. Unfortunately tickets were sold out way too early.
We learned a lot about the Berlin Wall. That’s Mstislav Rostropovich (one of my favorite cellists) playing by the wall the week after the Wall fell.
