Berlin Day 2

We started off by heading to the Alexanderplaty to see the central buldings. A giant radio/tv tower, an old church, a neptune fountain, and a giant dome church. We got to go to the top of the dome, but then my fear of heights kicked in and i ran back down after only 1 picture. We then went to the bear pits (yes, more bear pits). This time there were 2 bears, and we were really close (like 5 feet instead of 15 feet in bern). So I got more bear pictures.

We then hopped back on the s bahn and headed to the secret communist prison. It was kinda depressing. We then went to a 1.3 km section of the wall that was all painted. We saw teenage mutant ninja turtles (awesome). We then headed back towards our hostel, but stoppe at one stop to eat at an indian place we heard was good. It turns out, it was good, and still is, sitting in my belly. Yummy. Wel, sorry for the short post, but i got to get going for the day as everyone is waiting, peering over my shoulder!

hahahaha more bear pits! that is so funny to me. I never would have expected these random cities to have that.
I am so sorry that your fear of heights is getting the best of you. Maybe if you remind yourself that you're safe and that nothing bad is going to happen to you, you'll feel better. Also, remember this is like a once in a lifetime chance to see these spectacular views!

I am very excited that you are trying out so many new foods! Does that mean we can explore new restaurants when you get home? I hope so! I have never had indian food, but I am glad you are finding new things that are so "YUM-O!" to you (yes, I stole that from Rachel Ray).

omg, the other day I was watching Semi-Homemade (aka The Drunk Housewife)and she was like "Now it's COCKTAIL TIME!" in this really high pitched voice and I just started laughing so hard cause it reminded me of you.

You'll be glad to know that I have gotten several people "into" your blog: Neriss, Ricketts, now FERNIO! i'm at work, so he's beginning to read your posts.

okay, well keep having the time of your life! I love you so much! XOXO
