Weekend in Berlin

Well we decided to stay a few more days in Berlin and it was quite epic. We stayed in a cozy hostel and were able to mosey around Berlin at our pace doing nothing but enjoying the city. We went back to the holocaust memorial and saw BMG. I read some HP on a warm stone at the memorial and avoided flying bananas heaved at us from blue man #1. Saturday was the International Beer Festival in Berlin. What a freakin coincidence, I know! Another experience I will never forget. There was of course plenty of beer, 300 different kinds to be exact, and music for any taste. Note: the one man who played guitar, harmonica, drums, sang, and controlled his three puppets all at once was probably the most impressive musical performance I have ever seen. It’s no surprise the festival was held in Berlin. Berlin is unique, gorgeous, and unique. One of my favorite cities, hands down awesome. The weekend ended with a 4:30am wake and bustle to the airport, 14 hour squished plane ride next to a heavy Nigerian man, and then stepping back into Texas.
