My parents arrived today in Berlin! After meeting them at the airport, and dropping off the luggage, we headed out into the city to see some sights. First: Gendarmenmarkt, then Bebelplatz, the Humboldt University, Neue Wache, Museum Island...It was
hot. 32 degrees C, which is about 90. We took a break for some water and boat-watching along the Spree. When we headed to Schloss Charlottenburg, there was a freak thunderstorm and a little rain, which helped cool things down. The park was so beautiful and it was a nice change of scenery from the loud city center. We ended the evening with a
Schnitzel dinner at
Schnitzelei.
