The highlight of the week was a trip to Berlin. But first a couple of pictures from a mountainbike ride with my wife.<\/p>\n

\nWe ended up in an outdoor market in a suburb called Santa Faz:

\nIn many ways, the eastern part of the city is the more interesting one. One afternoon I went out to Treptow and walked along the river to a place recommended to me by a friend. It is an outdoor beer garden where people dance and enjoy life in ways that have not changed much since the GDR-days:
\n\"L1002654\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 3<\/em>
\nSadly, the summer was over, and there was not much action:
\n\"L1002647\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 4<\/em>
\nSlim pickings for the birds:
\n\"L1002640\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 5<\/em>
\nOutside my hotel was a Berlin bear with the Marlene Dietrich theme, which allowed me to juxtapose the two sets of legs:
\n\"L1002677\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 6<\/em>
\nAmbush marketing by Adidas:
\n\"L1002680\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 7<\/em>
\nTraditional Berlin lunch–pea soup with sausage:
\n\"L1002669\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 8<\/em>
\nTraditional Berlin dinner–Eisbein with sauerkraut, potatoes and mashed peas:
\n\"L1002704\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 9<\/em>
\nOne day I found this wonderful, cozy bar on Tucholsky-Strasse (also in the former East):
\n\"L1002692\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 10<\/em>
\nBerlin’s transport system is cheap and efficient, allowing for easy excursions to places like Potsdam. I went there Saturday morning to see the town where the fate of post-war Europe was sealed by Truman, Stalin and Churchill in 1945. I found myself in an upscale outdoors food market, complete with a mobile espresso vendor:
\n\"L1002758\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 11<\/em>
\nMother with children enjoying some just-purchased goodies:
\n\"L1002749\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 12<\/em>
\nWalking around Potsdam, I came across this house with a funny inscription. It reads “I have built this house according to my taste\/and he who does not like it\/can build a better one with his own money”:
\n\"L1002800\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 13<\/em>
\nThe kiosk at the train station sells the basic necessities of life:
\n\"L1002830\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 14<\/em>
\nOn Saturday afternoon I found myself on a bench on Warschauer-Strasse, enjoying a beer and the human traffic passing by:
\n\"L1002853\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 15<\/em>
\nAnd Saturday evening I stumbled into an Oktoberfest tent on Alexanderplatz:
\n\"L1002896\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 16<\/em>
\nFace in the crowd:
\n\"L1002888\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 17<\/em>
\nEnjoying:
\n\"L1002891\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 18<\/em>
\nOblivious:
\n\"L1002895\"<\/p>\n
