East Berlin

Just arrived in Berlin via Prague. This side of the city, former capital of the DDR, must be the graffiti capital of Europe. Every surface is tagged. But, the weather is beautiful, our hostel lovely, and food is cheap!

Unfortunately Spain strongarmed Germany to a 1-0 victory in the Euro Finals yesterday. H and I were both tired so our night was pretty subdued. We met a couple our age from Texas and watched the Game in the Wencelas Square on a giant screen.

We will be spending two nights here eating as much as possible so that we don't have to buy a bite in expensive southern france next week. H is shopping for a cellphone since Berlin prices are so low, and I will hopefully procure a usb connection for my camera so that pic posting can be resumed. Will be posting more later; time to explore a bit.
