i have figured out one thing for sure while here. better to watch the hands sometimes when getting directions than to actually listen to what they're telling you/me. i know that when i was learning spanish last year that i often mixed-up the words for left and right and up and down. i think some of the germans here have the same problem. and i got to be part of that confusion today.

 i think i walked five miles-ish to the museum of natural history when it should have been about a mile because i kept getting different directions from a variety of different people. the rain had stopped so it was fine but my feet and lower back got a decent workout well before noon. 
but the reward at the end, the museum of natural history, was well worth it. fir those of you who have been to the museum of the same name in new york will know what i mean. i love that stuff - the dinosaurs, the stuffed lions and hippos, the jars of specimens, etc...love it. i know ailsa's daughter fiona would have loved it...along with the 150 other kids that were there.

from there i made my way over to the bauhaus museum which was cool but short on supply. it was just one main floor and over before you knew it. but i think that signified the end of garn's berlin museum tour. i had bought a pass for 9 euros that got me into almost everything i saw and if i had had to pay for each thing it would have been well over 30 euros so...and i did find ten euros on the ground today so that kinda paid for my pass...

 i ate a thing called a flammkuchen today...i had read about it and had to try it. it's like a super thin pizza but made from a very different dough. think of the thinnest thin crust pizza you've ever had, and then make it half again thinner. no cheese. but they have sour cream and assorted toppings - mine had bacon and two eggs...good stuff.

i also found a great coffee joint today that i will be trying to go to at least a couple more times...good coffee and i had a nice slice of apple strudel.

i've made my way back to the hotel and will now have a little relaxo before heading out to find the venue that lambchop is playing at...

have fun.
