Ohhh Berlin

Berlin was an absolutely amazing city, made even more spectacular by the fact that I got to visit my cousin Kyle and his wonderful wife Annett. From the second I met up with Kyle I had a fabulous time seeing the city and spending time with my cousins.


The girls, enjoying a Berlinerweisse (beer and syrup) that was pretty yummy!




We spent a few hours touring the wonderful East Side Gallery
 (I took pictures of just about every segment,
but here are some of my favorites).


















The Potsdam opera, designed by the same man that designed
 the Sydney opera house.



Potsdam had a city festival with a concert by the lead singer of
Supertramp and Freddy Goes to Hollywood.

The spot where Kyle proposed to Annett!


Sans Souci is a beautiful palace grounds in Potsdam. It is the former summer palace of Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, who introduced the potato into the German diet. People still put potatoes on his grave (he was buried next to his dogs, with his wife buried further away).


One of my favorite pictures from my entire trip:












Watching the Euros final


Preparing for our intense walking tour with a Starbucks!





Berlin Wall






And some wonderful pictures that Annett took :)




I love this one too!!




We had some fabulous food in Berlin including homemade blueberry
pancakes that I chowed before getting a picture!


I made everyone take sushi pictures





It was awesoooooome

And we dined on Italian while watching the Euro finals...




And some unbelievable Indian food!
