Floral Dresses and Hot Pink High-Tops


Jen and I used today to see some sights and do some shopping.  But before I could even get past the tram station, I was yet again mesmerized by one of those loving Berlin couples.  


We went into Hackescher Markt and looked around some of the shops, but, of course, our eyes were on more than just the clothes.  We saw this little tot wandering a few steps behind his mom.


In our efforts to discover some unique Berlin clothing, we came across a vintage store and spent a good 45 minutes rummaging through all the racks and trying on some wild dresses (we decided against the bright purple spandex).  Both of us felt like we were taking a trip down Memory Lane and found at least one dress that looked like something we wore during our kindergarten days.  Although we didn't make any purchases, we did take some pictures, duh!

After waiting in what can only be called a "hella" long line to get to the top of the Reichstag, we decided to take a nice leisurely walk through the Tiergarten.  There were lots of interesting sights to be seen as we traveled off the beaten path...




Finally we made one last stop back at the Memorial for the Murdered Jews of Europe (or the Holocaust Memorial) to take a few more shots.  But it wasn't long before we were dragging our feet back to the U-Bahn to make our way back to Alexanderplatz.  Thank God for public transportation and how much effort it doesn't require.
