Well our first day in Berlin wasnt too bad. It did not start raining until about 9pm when we were heading out for dinner... so it was nice that it did not rain on us all day long like most other places hehe.
We went to see the Reichtag (the parlement building here) that hitler actually ran out of. The lineup to go in was about 2-3 hours long though, so we decided not to wait and we are going to go back today and hopefully it will be shorter. Probably seen as it is raining AGAIN. Of Coarse.
We also went to see Check Point Charlie yesterday as well as the remains of the Berlin Wall. This I had not seen on my last trip here, so i found it very interesting. We bought a 2 day transportation ticket which included discounts on many of the museums we are going to go into which is good. Kirk got his passport stamped with 5 oldschool stamps at check point charlie!
Today we are also going to go to the Schloss (castle) charlottenbourg which has an egyptian museum inside. As well as an old air raid shelter!
We might decide to head to Singen a day early depending on what the relatives say. After today we think we have done all we came to berlin to do. it will loose us a nights pay here, but we are not playing for beds in singen, so we wont loose out on extra money. There are a lot of little towns we can go see around singen that i think would give kirk better understanding of german culture rather then the huge city which is pretty much exactly like home but in a different language.
we have found tones of cheap food here though! Currywurst is great from the streetstands, and there is a restaurant just at the end of the bus line from here that has 1 euro schnitzel..... so of coarse i am in heaven with that. That is one good thing we have found here, is that we are not spending a lot of money on food.
I will report again in a couple of days.
Hope everyone is enjoying the nice sunny weather back at home, because we miss it!!
love dani (and kirk today because he actually made it to breakfast!) ;)

Hi You Two,
Glad to hear you are seeing the sights, the food sounds wonderful. I'm with you Dani, I also love schnitzel - Kirk you will have to make some when you get home, or we will have to go to Kitchener! Talk to you from Cape Cod - both the animals are boarding at the SPCA, will pick them up in two weeks.
Love Mom and Belle and Taylor
Hoffentlich Regened es nicht mehr....Hier ist es 38 grad heute. Ess ein Bratwurst fur mich!
Vielen Spass
Alles Liebe
Papa
Dani, your Dad is a show-off!
So glad to be hearing from you! Those line-ups sound awful but I guess that's what summer in Europe is like.
Take care and talk soon!
Mom
Berlin bleibt Berlin, is a old saying in Deutschland. Good idea, that you go a day earlier to Singen, if you had enough from the big City. I just talked to Helene, they are so looking forward to pick you up tomorrow, well done Dani. When Helen heard, that you two are coming tomorrow, she made right away my favourit cake and I hope you two will enjoy it too.
Talk to you soooon.
Liebe Bussele von Oma and Opa
