Berlin: Out-takes

Looking for some Impressionist painting
at the Altesmuseum, we came upon this 
portrait of Wagner...by Lembach?




















And a not quite as famous bust of Wagner


















Outside, in the former Soviet zone, some
really nice Social Realism



















Berlin cathedral on a beautiful Sunday afternoon














"Never, ever, appear before me with glad tidings when I'm
on the crapper!"















Capitalism


















The 2012 Euro fussball contest continued; Germany made
it into the final four; fussball fans here are no less crazy than
their counterparts in the US
















My favorite eating establishment in Berlin...


















Marian's Imbiss, Tegel; I could eat currywurst und frites
und bier
3 or 4 times a week; and did















Monday morning Rebecca, Jeremy, and Penelope arrived,
and, after the usual luggage mishap (resolved), we drove
them to their hotel, the Westin Grand Berlin (right on Unter
den Linden
); I couldn't resist driving right up to the front,
horrifying the bell-persons...

















And returned to Wohnmobil Berlin, now with Penelope, her
clothes, food, toys, books, and play-pen/crib; she was a
tired baby, but seemed happy to see us
