This is post #17 of our Dublin-Berlin trip, for Saturday, September 22, 2018 (part 2). Cool tourist. Another cool tourist, in front of a toxic waste wall panel.

This is post #16 of our Dublin-Berlin trip, for Saturday, September 22, 2018 (part 1 of 2 parts). Self-explanatory. But this time, Dave came along to keep me company and he worked on revising his portions of the document they were working on. Afterwards, we walked up to the Bibimbap Stand, but because it was… Continue reading Saturday: Chores, then Berlin Wall
This is post #15 of our Dublin-Berlin trip, for Friday, September 21, 2018. Today is Evelinde Day!

This is post #13 of our Dublin-Berlin trip, Thursday, September 20, 2018. Love the windows at the station, filled with leaves.

This is post #12 of our Dublin-Berlin trip, Wednesday, September 19, 2018. Lollygagging around in bed Taking a slower start this morning, I heard this squeaky noise.

Somehow, somewhere, someone had flipped a… Continue reading Alexanderplatz, Thimble Hunting, and the Berlin HauptBahnof
This is post #11 of our Dublin-Berlin trip in September 2018. (Continued from this post, Tuesday, September 18th) I need to do a whole post about signs. Just kidding, but seriously? Wanna? This sign, right by our elevator, made me ask our hotel desk clerk about our "sleeping" room. Apparently we'd paid an extra 15… Continue reading Stack of Pillows and Kaiser Wilhem Memorial Church
This is post #10 of our Dublin-Berlin trip in September 2018. I didn't realize I'd taken so many pictures of doors, until I had started on about my third post of Berlin. So I gathered many of them together; there are more that I will share in the posts.
This is post #9 of our Dublin-Berlin trip in September 2018. When sitting in my house in California, planning this trip, I read lots of guidebooks, and they all emphasized the idea of "kiez" or neighborhoods, as apparently Berlin is less known for a tight list of "must-see" sights and more of, as Rick Steves'… Continue reading Frau Tulip, Hackescher Hof, and walking around in the Berlin Mitte
This is post #8 of our Dublin-Berlin trip in September 2018. What we see out our window--I looked it up via Google Maps, and it is a special events venue. It's Monday, September 17th.
