Day 3 in Berlin, though a bit cold, was beautiful, so we decided to spend the afternoon outside at Sanssouci, a palace on the outskirts of the city.
It had a windmill. Awesome.
It is quite a brightly colored place
Lots of cheeses, meats, breads, and fruit. yummmmm.
Most specifically, this:
Fresh goat cheese and raspberries on a soft baguette. Win.
And of course there was wine. And of course we forgot cups. And of course we're classy:
We were right near a pond. This duck was an asshole:
After we ate, we wandered around the gardens a bit
While the sun started to set...
We found statues to make friends with!
Katie and Athena became a bit too close...
In the center, there was a pedestal with no statue on it, so of course we had to create our own:
I don't really know what Fran and G. Ben are doing in the photo on the left. Clearly it's dramatic though. Also, G. Ben has a great arabesque.
After we were satisfied with our statuesque poses, we continued wandering to another building that's somehow part of the castle. Maybe I should know these things but we didn't take a formal tour...
It was pretty though. And deserted.
mmmm sunset and cool clouds :)
As it got dark we decided to leave, but had to battle the windmill to get past.
Facing the bus stop was the backside of the castle, with lots of pillars and stuff. It was cool in the dark
Time for more food! We spent the evening at a suuuuuper traditional german restaurant. It sort of felt like a classier, german-style cracker barrel.
And since the napkins were folded artfully, we had to play with them
LOOK AT MY DINNER! 4 or 5 different kind of meat, mushrooms, potatoes, and tangy sauce. So german. So delicious.
And for dessert, a small scoop of ice cream on a large pile of fruit soaked in either rum or vodka, don't remember which.
Hey, if you had consumed the whole bowl, you wouldn't remember either.
And to end this post with a smile, here are a couple of hedgehogs that were on the shelf next to our table.
I like them. I hope you do too :)
