Ich bin ein Berliner!

Overall Berlin was one of my favorite stops: rich history, interesting people, great beer (and not-so-great-but-definitely-intriguing flavored beer), tremendous amounts of food, a thriving arts scene...

Top middle: my 3 euro meal that was some sort of falafel-asian food thing.  But delicious
Top right: If you squint you can see the Berlin Wall ending on the left of the picture, beyond the bikes, and facing what starts a long line of crazy offers like hot air balloon rides in a balloon that looks like a globe, currywursts, painted cars, museums, art displays and...
Bottom left: an artificial beach.  Just down the road from the wall and from Checkpoint Charlie
Bottom middle: Raspberry flavored beer.  Apparently when the French arrived many moons ago, they didn't like the taste of beer so they added fruit flavoring.  I don't like it.

As President Kennedy said after the wall went up:

All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin, and therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words "Ich bin ein Berliner!"
