Berlin on a Bike

Today....we rode bikes around Berlin. It was fun.

Mariannes bike was named Mary J. Blige- classic.

We saw this cool statue. marx and engels, the fathers of communism. this was the only picture we got (and it was 5 minutes in to the tour).

our guide was really nice....from the grand state of TEJAS....dallas to be precise. although a little redundant, very helpful in the history of berlin. we kept riding by all these famous sites that looked like nothing. but we did ride by hitler's bunker...wooooo. it happened to be a bunch of apartments. the berlin wall was pretty cool. ruthie had the priviledge of being the buttbabe. that meant riding behind everyone to make sure everyone was ok. mari was the assistant buttbabe....naturally. at the end of the tour, ruthie got a free coke and two original pieces of the berlin wall, all for riding as slow as christmas in the back and making sure no one got lost. marianne should have gotten her diet coke for free, too. but she didn't.

...this was at the end of the tour. it really was fun... this is just marianne in a weak moment. i think it's hilarious.

we are having so much fun and cannot wait for PRAGUE.
