Getting Into the Swing of Things

Das Amplemännchen, the 'don't walk' sign of east Berlin

Classes have started, the good weather has given way to a few showers and we're starting to get into a routine here in Berlin. Which doesn't mean we're not tourists anymore. Thanks to our friends Henri and Kalle we got to go on a riverboat tour through the city which albeit smelly (from the river) was a fun way to spend an hour and see the city from a different angle.

Not as impressive as the dome in Firenze, I have to admit...
There's a lot of history there, old and new.
Museumsinsel
They look like siamese twins.
Moskau is still close...
We did about 10 different takes until we figured out how to get this picture with the phone.
Half of that clock is Russia, I'm not kidding.
