My feet are up and glad to be there after two full and lovely days of walking with my cousin Jane, who is visiting Berlin for a few days. Friday we drove to Potsdam (the former royal retreat city, just outside of Berlin) and walked around the downtown, the Dutch Quarter, and Park Sanssouci (home of several palaces and endless gardens).
Lunch in the Dutch Quarter
Park Sanssouci
Today we hopped on the S-1 into Berlin and saw churches, a fabulous Saturday market, famous statues and buildings, interesting stores . . .
Heidelbeeren Kasekuchen (Blueberry Cheesecake) with Italian Cappuccino
(yes, it was as huge and as scrumptious as it looks, maybe more so on both counts!)
Jane & the Berlin Wall
It's been great to have a touring companion, and also to spend some time with my cousin Jane. Tomorrow we'll go to church, and she might make another trek into the city to go to the Pergamon. Early Monday morning, she'll head out to Brussels and then back to Seattle.
