This is the TV tower next to one of my favorite places in Berlin.  It's called Marienkirche and it's lovely.

This is one of my friends, Eleonora.  She is from Como, Italy.  Yeah...that's where George Clooney goes to relax.  No big deal.

Pastries.  In the shape of...mice? Who knows. Belgians are weird.

Sweet sunset from the east. 

Sometimes Jill visits.  Sometimes we dance. 

My friend and neighbor, Judith. She's kind of a big deal.

Ice cream.  It was good.

The vending machines are sometimes air conditioned.  Sometimes that's the only thing that IS airconditioned here.  These M&M's were cold and delicious.

Street art.  Stickers.  My favorite. So silly.

Some good finds at the flea market. 

Grill parties at the park.  That's my friend, Marcus.

Food.

Every once in a while, one can find ALMOST the right ingredients to make mexican food.  Gracie and I did that. It was decent.  Almost satisfied the craving.

Dogs. Everywhere. All the time.  Not always on leashes.

Sometimes (more than once) cops stop by my house to solve a problem.  Feels like living in Whittier again. Just kidding. Sort of. 

This guy was drinking a mini bottle of champagne on the train...at 9 in the morning.

Only in Germany does the giant advertisement of raw and cured meats actually work as an add campaign.  They know their audience.

Free chocolate.  Thanks for the pose, Gracie. 

Italian cafe.  So cool.  Only 50's and 60's music playing.  Groovy.

This is a bike with a knit cozy on it.  Hipsters...psh.
