Berlin part 2

So 1st day we took a nap in our very lovely hotel and then did a bit of exploring. Most importantly we found like a million places to eat within walking distance, including several bakeries and sweets stores where we bought the best candies ever (and the like one jar of peanut butter they had) :D I've decided I'm basically going to spend the last of my euros getting candy to share before I leave. The marshmallow candies look just like a lolita print.







There was also a sweet park with giant slides and a zipline!















Dinner at the Italian place in our hotel (I took this after it closed).



We did some more stuff but my battery was dead and Suzi was taking photos of cars for Max. So Tuesday we got a new charger for my camera and did some shopping in Friedrichstrasse. We got a 7 day pass for the U ban but apparently it just works on some kind of honor system? Either way the trains come every like 5 minutes it's fantastic :D

Also there was actually a guy playing the accordion rather beautifully in the underground, so we gave him a couple euros.









We got tomato mozzarella sandwiches from the bakery, I have somehow yet to get sick of this :D





So apparently everyone our age in Berlin dresses like they live in Little 5 Points. Either H&M or ripped up punk/hippie/hipster stuff. Though it made sense when we went to the super fancy shopping district we discovered H&M was all we could afford, so we got some dresses (all the girls wear dresses and skirts here) ^_^;;









Then we ran home to get dressed for 'Carmen'. Suzi's wearing one of her new dresses (I'll probably wear mine to the museum). The opera was wonderful. Carmen has really adorable red pumps and all the adults turned into giggling teenagers when she and the soldier were making out.













It takes forever to get dark here and the streets near our hotel are really safe (everyone who knows where Atlanta is is surprised we live there because it's much scarier in comparison), so we went out for a late dinner searching for a Thai place. I got curry but I only took photos of the giant avocado in the sushi.
