Reichstag!

Yay finally got to see the Reichstag. Basically there's a huge and long history about the Parliament building that you could read about.

But aside from history stuff, the experience was pretty incredible. We walked up the ramp, spiraling around the glass dome, with Berlin beneath us. The audioguide gave explanations on what each building was, so it was a great way to see the city without walking anywhere at all. The dome was pretty futuristic looking too, kind of like a spaceship center, especially the way the structure was holding up the ramp.

Do eat the Chocolate

Went out to eat at an Italian restaurant. Really good hot chocolate and spaghetti though I forgot to take a picture of the spaghetti! Also got a pack of Kinder buenos, just for my friend. Turns out they're delicious!!! it's crispy but also creamy on the inside. Mmm  

Studio food

I spend a lot of time in the studio! And for lunch, I often go out to get different foods. 

From a Pizza and Ice cream store. Pizza here is often
rectangular, much less fatty and greasy and still
delicious!

PO PO PO PO tay to. This was absolutely ginormous.
Mashed potatoes inside of a potato skin. Bunches of
sauces, couscous, corn, olives and jalepenos! 

Curry Lintel Apple soup! Also delicious with bread,
So wonderfully warm on a cold day.

Dresden Day 2!

Still beautiful, though a little bit of rain! Dresden is a very skate friendly city. We lived in front of this cool skate park where a ton of adolescent boys skated and it was really funny to see them fall.

We went to the Pillnitz Castle and walked around the river.
