DAMN this town has some nice parks.
Now I'll be boring and write about the weather: it has been a cold cold summer here in northern Europe. I feel robbed of my salty wet dog days. Occasionally there is some sun for half an hour and then rainRAINrainRAINrain. Today I was caught by the river Spree in a downpour, so I slinked close to a building and had over an hour to finish (reading) my book.
However, Saturday was a sunny glorious day and it was nice to see Berliners put on some color and let their hair down, so to speak. Tiergarten (above) was full of friends barbecuing, playing music, and playing small soccer games (seriously, the field I saw was really small). In other words, I had a tantalizing glimpse of the season I should be living right now.
Even this, the Holocaust Memorial, was an active playful space--full of children playing tag and couples taking pictures of each other peaking out from behind the stelae.
