From the Galeries Lafayette we turned and walked on through the downtown, past the Ritter store, across Museum Island, to Alexanderplatz, the landmark home of the TV tower, shopping centers, markets, and more, but mostly shopping centers. It was a brilliant early fall Saturday afternoon, and the crowds were out everywhere. Many, many steps, but a fitting last day.

Also some rescue archaeology (to make way for more shopping
centers) |

Inside the vast Alexa shopping center, a whole hall devoted to
"young fashion" |

If there were trees growing out of the asphalt and concrete, you
could call it a bier garten; thousands of people, drinking, shopping
at the craft market, etc. |
 |
| Another shopping center |

Ever more German food; wish we'd stopped here for dinner,
but we had a fridge of food to finish back at the apartment |
 |
| Passing through Hackescher Martkt and its beautiful station |

Looks like everybody was out drinking and having a fun time on a good weather day. I was surprised at the English "Young Fashion" sign in the mall.
