It's becoming warm and beautiful in Berlin and I've been out exploring again. This past week after working mornings, I spent 3 afternoons wandering with my camera. I spend a lot of my time riding the Sbahn looking out the window and wondering about the stops I pass every day. So on day 1, a warm and sunny day, I decided to get out at a stop and walk the rest of my route. On day two it rained, so I walked a bit and then ended up at the Stasi museum which was dry and warm and on day 3 I rode the Sbahn to another stop that had always interested me from my seat on the train. Berlin didn't disappoint. I continue to be surprised by this city. I found more great graffiti, a hill top bunker, a vineyard, an underground concert venue and many interesting people to shoot from the hip- my new favorite thing. Day One: Schönhauser allee-Prenzlauer allee-greifswalder str.-landsberger allee-storkower str.day two- frankfurter allee- stasi museumday three- humboldthain

We traveled to Dresden on Saturday- an easy not quite two hour train ride from Berlin on a Hungarian train (heading on to Prague and Budapest) that seemed as though it was from the seventies- with decor that featured oranges and browns and large carpet swatches on the ceilings. Dresden had a lot to offer for a day trip and we clearly weren't the only ones who thought so. It felt as though we timed our arrival with that of the tour buses from Poland and the Czech Republic. But at least it was easy to find our way- we just followed the crowds. In addition to a lot of impressive Baroque architecture, I really enjoyed the retro feel to the entire city. It really felt as though we had been transported to another time and we saw a lot of people wearing old time hats- not knit or baseball- but proper out for the day hats.
Then on Sunday we celebrated L's birthday with a bit of family football, some southern Indian food and cake. A nice weekend for sure. |
