Coffee to start the day. 

We went to the Berlin Wall Memorial. Very somber and sad and lots of thoughts of “how could they let this happen”

In the distance you can see that there are two lines for the inner fences. There were SO many fences put up. Seriously more than I ever knew!

And after we had some Five Guys. Mostly because I was getting g hangry. I needed food. https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1Qry5KPtJpWFJ5obwB8UqYFWwqnxicsYU
Then off to the Easy Side Gallery - which is not a gallery but a LONG section of the wall that is decorated by artists. Some we enjoyed. Others we shook our heads

So this is a few blocks of squatters type of shanty town put together. It was huge area. Interesting. The Gypsy in me was intrigued.

pho
We walked around looking for a golf shop. We never found it. There were no photo ops between lunch and dinner. Just lots of walking!!  4.7 miles walked just looking and wandering downtown. 

Dinner was right down the street from the hotel. 
Italian. I think the goal is to eat all the different ethnic foods while here :)

Our “view”. She asked if I wanted a room with a view. I said we hadn’t been to Berlin before so a view would be nice. First glance it’s not great BUT it really is nice. https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=15UbDcKhQHQHXHoU1s0q6kT-_YW6T3B8X
