We like to travel.
This is the final post (#24) of our Dublin-Berlin trip, for Friday, September 27, 2018. Why is this photo taken at night? Because after a night of interrupted sleep, at 5:30 a.m. I say to Dave, "Ready to give up?" He is, so we are out the door by 7:15 a.m. We take the Metro… Continue reading Returning Home, or Multiple Levels of Dante’s Hell
This is post #23 of our Dublin-Berlin trip, for Thursday, September 27, 2018. Dave returns, and he hasn't had lunch, so we re-trace our steps to the Galerie Lafayette because, as I told him, there are so many choices! Even though it was only about 90 minutes after my visit, most all of that abundance… Continue reading Last Looks at Berlin • Part 2
This is (long) post #21 of our Dublin-Berlin trip, for Wednesday, September 26, 2018. My travel diary proclaims: "Today is Ride the 100-Bus Day." Downstairs in the hotel lobby, I confer with the concierge about which way to head, which stop to get off. I've taken to making a screen shot of the directions from… Continue reading From the 100 Bus to Bebelplatz
This is post #18 of our Dublin-Berlin trip, for Sunday, September 23, 2018. I've been on this trip so long, I decided I'd better start making an Instagram marker, just so I'd know what day it was and what the date was. But today has been set aside as Museum Day, and it's raining raining… Continue reading Museum Island • Berlin
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. The panels of the wall were painted shortly after the wall came down, and as The East Side Gallery website notes, they: "are for the joy of… Continue reading East Side Gallery • Berlin Wall
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 #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. Dave had already gone and I was reading all the horrifying news about the Kavenaugh hearings from the US, when the room darkened. 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
