berlin, you were so good to me. i am sad to leave you. i appreciated your nice, helpful, easy-going residents, your lack of smelliness, your abundance of actual street signs on streets (maybe you can teach spain a thing or two), your gigantic, gorgeous apartments, your muesli, your kaffee hausers (providing more than 2 sips of coffee -- another lesson for spain/france), your delicious 2 euro doner kebabs. you were wonderful. i will make sure all my favorite people visit you.
so, berlin was excellent. here come a lot of pictures.
thursday morning: delicious eggs/salmon, muesli/fruit breakfast with cheryl in cutesy restaurant

berlin hauptbahnhof: beautiful, modern main train station, from where i leave to munich
Karl-Marx-Allee: many-miles-long boulevard built soviet style in the 1950s. huge, austere, intimidating buildings.

after walking by oodles of eastern european tchotchkies, i felt like i needed to express my very own eastern-europeanness. enter, ruski hat.
