So on day 3, we decided to head to the Berlin Zoo. To put this zoo into persepective, think the national zoo in dc, times 3 (BIG!). So we walk in through the gates, then walk to the elephants that are right there, and immediately, Angela and Adam run off. So we attempted to trace their tracks, looking at all the animals on the way, but no luck. So we continued to walk around the park, in a very meanering way due to the maps costing 5 euro (we took a picture of the displayed map instead). After seeing many sleepy and/or chilling animals, we heaed to the entrance a little after 5 (the zoo closed at 6:30). We waited and people watched, and then they eventually showed up. After eating more delicious currywurst, we headed back to the room for an early night, becuse we knew that the next day would be a long one...
We started off day 4 with a metro trip to the brandenburg gate (the big one in berlin, apparently there are a bunch of them with the brandenburg name). It was big, and next to it was the American embassy, so i got a picture with the American flag claiming the gate. Next to the embassy was the duetsche bank hq, which was designed by the guy who did the gugenheim in bilbao spain. It as crazy looking. We then walked over to a memorial to murdered jews, which was a bunch of blocks alligned to produce straight lines, so we played hide and go seek (not the most appropriate thing to do, bu it was fun. We then headed to the Reichstag, their congress. The line to go into it was really long, so we skipped going in and went to a currywurst stand called wurst :-) (really, with an emote). We then walked to the natural history museum, which was also nice. Halfway over, it started to rain, so we tried and wait it out a little beforemeeting angela and adam for dinner. Before e knew it, the museum was closed and we were locked inside! (more like they had just opened the main entrance, and then realiyeed we were in a little picnic room listening to music). So after leaving the museum, we met up for dinner (awesome german food!), before heading back to the room to get ready for going to a berlin club. We managed to get there at midnight, right when the club was picking up. We explored the rooms, then ended up in the techno room. Mark hopped up on the stage in front of the DJ with 10 other people and danced his ass off. After a few hours of the floor quaking and the air burning, we were getting burnt out, so we attempted to ride the metro home, but it stopped running (damn wednesday night) so we took a mercedes taxi home (they are all mercedes). Thus ending an awesome day!

Hey darling boy!
I am glad to hear about how much fun you had at the club. I can just imagine Mark standing up there with all those German girls and just dancing the night away. Did you dance, too? I hope you did!
I am totally jealous that their zoo is humongous!!! I LOOOOVE the zoo. Did you get pictures of the animals?
