lenbach haus, museum of klee, kandinsky, marc, etc

the commie wurst. a political advertisement that struck us as pretty funny. at the bottom it SEEMS like it says "black power!" but we found out they kind of have a political color wheel, where red and green are liberal and black is conservative. hee.

my maus! i love him. i got him at aldi for probably less than a dollar.

people surf all the time at this one place where there's a constant wave coming out from a bridge in the englischer garten. it's really really cool.

dave said, "if you want a flag picture, now's the time to do it!" so this is a picture of me on top of the reichstag, japanese-style.

wilhelmskirche, a bombed-out church that hasn't been restored yet. it's in the middle of Ku-damm, Berlin's biggest shopping district.
