Wonderful Weekend in Berlin

We took a short trip to Berlin this past weekend with the main motivation of visiting our friends Mark and Anna who we met over a year ago in Corcovado National Park in Costa Rica.  About when I found out we would be moving to Hungary last spring, Mark let me know that he would be living in Berlin, Germany and Nitra, Slovakia for a year on an Erasmus Mundus Scholarship.  It was so fun getting to stay with Anna and Mark and explore their new city with them.  They were such amazing hosts, and just overall wonderful people.  Both Bill and I had been to Berlin before (separately though), so we saw a few things we had seen before and then ventured out and saw some new parts of the city.  

Tiergarten
Victory Column
Hyper-Masculine Prussian Art (as Bill has referred to it for years)
             
Inside the Reichstag
Brandenburg Gate
Berliner Dome and TV Tower
Pergamon
Ishtar Gate at Pergamon Museum
Part of the Wall
             
               Sony Center
  
            Christmas Market
Best Kebabs Ever....Maybe Best Food Ever!
Currywurst/heart attack
              
Prost to our hosts and friends Anna and Mark.  And hopefully we'll be seeing them soon for more good times in Europe.  And if we really want to get crazy, maybe one day we'll actually meet on American soil.
