We're glad to be staying in the one place this week, not least because Ruthie had developed the habit of asking "What have we forgotten?" whenever we even mention that we are planning to leave a hotel room or our seats on a train. It is quite a disconcerting question to be asked before you even start packing up!
Here's some more Berlin pictures from 2 weeks ago:
Ruthie singing in front of the Brandenburger Tor. In this same location today there is a big party in the Pariser Platz square to celebrate the opening of the new USA embassy there - the embassy is returning to its pre-World War II site.
More singing in front of the US "starchitect" Frank Gehry's apartment building that is across the road of the Jewish Holocaust memorial.
Smiling with cherubs and roses in front of our apartment building
And sitting with bear at the playground.
This week we caught this little train at the Britzer Park that were created for the 1985 national garden show.
The coooler weather today has meant the Ruthie could wear the skirt and tights outfit that Lorraine bought for her...
This morning's rain menat we spent the morning in the toy and kids books section of KaDeWe before feasting in the Wintergarden. You can see that she developed a good appetite from all that playing!
