Aug 8 Berlin Day Off













A quick impromptu Celebrate at the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedaechtniskirche in Berlin













Straddling the old Berlin Wall marked throughout the city with white stones along the path it took.













A storm approaches the Reichstag, Germany's Capitol building, and we duck in early for our tour.














The new dome is spectacular












It reflects natural light down into the parliament chambers and you can spiral up to the top












This opening let's out the heat and provides a natural flow of air


















Of course we flash mobbed the dome, which has incredible acoustics. We got a round of hearty applause, as always! Trevor takes over the choir!
















And again on the Capitol steps. We're incorrigible.















Hanging out with the glitterati at the Brandenburg Gate.















A casual dinner at a local pizza joint in Kaulsdorf, near our pension.

This was a well-deserved day off and everyone was ready for it. The weather cooperated and the kids were allow to wander around, shop and have fun on their own. It was a tremendous change to go from the peace and tranquility of Schloss Mansfeld to a world city like Berlin, but the kids took it in stride, soaked it up like sponges and will never forget it. Neither will the adults. It was wunderbar.
