Berlin Day 4: Apparently food is important to me...

One of the best discoveries about Berlin was the waffle shop a block from the place we were staying.

Tons of topping options, all delicious:

So delicious that we came back two days in a row. Which was good because G. Ben wasn't there the first time we went, and if he hadn't gone, I would have taken this photo:

Crepe with caramel, brown sugar, vanilla ice cream, and whipped cream: Breakfast of champions; Breakfast of G. Ben.

In other news, there comes a time when your friends have a moment of intervention to suggest that perhaps you take too many photos of food, and not enough of people. This moment happened on this trip. So here are some photos of people. Enjoying their waffles. :)

And setting a good example for me, by taking photos of PEOPLE. not food.

Fueled by our incredibly healthy breakfast, we headed off to see the German sights.

First stop, the Brandenburger Tor:

Next, some more history. Berlin Wall!

Ok, enough somewhat-obligatory tourist stops for one day. Clearly it was time to head to an amazing chocolate shop, where you can drink wonderful hot chocolate in their chocolate-tasting room. However, I was so distressed by the fact that we got there late in the evening so they were no longer serving hot chocolate, and so distracted by the deliciousness of the chocolates we purchased instead (and overwhelmed by the number of times I've said 'chocolate' in this paragraph), that I didn't take any photos. Bummer.

So naturally, we moved on to MORE food, this time at probably the best Indian restaurant I've ever been to. Seriously. If you go to Berlin and like Indian food, get the info from me - It's amazing.

Between the 6 of us, we ordered 4 different soups, and passed them all around so everyone could try them all.

You know that moment when you try what your friends ordered, secretly hoping that you made the right decision and your dish is actually the best one on the table? I had that moment here, but the thing is, there was no Best Soup. I don't think I've ever eaten 4 such equally-amazing soups in a row before. And that was just the soup. Entrees were stellar as well!

Oh, and there was a big mirror, so we seized the opportunity for a group shot!

Maybe we should have discussed if we were making funny faces or not.

Oh wait, we could see each other. Maybe we should have looked around to unify.

Maybe it's better this way.

Maybe it doesn't matter because seriously, that Indian food was damn good.
