Berlin Bound

Last week was autumn holiday in Denmark, so E and I took our own holiday to Berlin! We hadn't been there in over ten years, when we last went together in high school. It was great to be back, and see things from our adult perspective. We also got to visit my old host family in Potsdam, where we also revisited Sanssouci and other familiar places around town.

Near our hostel in Berlin, crossing the river


Morning sun on the Reichstag

This area sure has changed a lot

The palace at Sanssouci (which means ohne sorgen)


E in a nice spot on the Sanssouci grounds

See above

I like this picture because of all the different things that are in it. Evergreen trees, red ivy, leafy deciduous trees, Romanesque arches, and a windmill! Awesome.

The Deutche Dom, Berlin Concerthouse and Französischer Dom in Berlin

The Berliner Dom and Fernsehturm - a nice contrast of new and old
