Parting is such sweet sorrow

Today I went souvenir shopping and had my last dinner with Jaap. Our dinner was a working dinner because we are academics and, well that's what I'm here for! We accomplished a lot and have a plan for the remainder of our work. We were at a German restaurant at my request and it was good. I even had Afri-cola which is the German counterpart to Coke. They have coke too but I had to try the German version since I'm here. The German food tastes a lot like what mom used to make... Hey mom, is grandma German?

On my way back from the dinner I took a walk along Under den Liden, the main road. I took a few pictures I'd like to share. This one is called, "Dude, you forgot your pants!"


I like to think his response is "I'm too sexy for my pants". They just don't make statues like that anymore :-)

And finally, the Spree River at dusk in Berlin...

My flight leaves tomorrow morning and I get back home tomorrow evening (thanks to the time difference). The next time I blog I'll be home! Kissing my kitty! Who hates it when I do that! Thanks for letting me share my experiences in Berlin, I've had fun and will miss many things here!
