And the Adventure Begins:

Saturday morning I woke up and there was sunshine!!!!! I had to take advantage of this, so I went outside and proceeded to be that tourist that takes pictures of everything and anything (for you of course). I went to Kufurstendamm, the tourist street. They have these awesome crossing lights. Their "crossing people" are called Ampfelmann. They are very cute! I'm quite hoping they will invade the US haha. I will post a picture of this a bit later.

We (Lisa, Anna, and I) planned on going to the zoo. It looked cloudy by this time, but not too bad. We took the U-Bahn to the stop and walked up the stairs to find it is pouring rain....again! Ugh! So we adjusted our plans to take the train to a random stop and walk around exploring. We ended up at Galleria, a huge store! It has anything and everything you can think of. Kind of like a mall in itself. I bought a watch. Yes, finally, a watch! And surprisingly it didn't stop in the first few hours this time haha! I had a bit of trouble telling the lady which one I wanted. I kept saying the black one, and she thought I said the Swiss watch. Oh well, I ended up with my watch in the end. Anna bought a watch also and Lisa a scarf.

After this begun our trek for döner kabab. You are probably wondering what this is. The first time I ate it, I had no clue what it was - only that it was amazingly good and cheap. (See first day here) We searched and searched for it. Finally we found some! It was well worth the wait! It is shaved lamb meat. That's the simplest explanation - Google it for a better one :)

After all this walking around, I was so tired. I took a nap at Lisa's house before our next adventure. We were museum bound. Twice a year they have a long night of the museums. From 6PM until 2AM the museums are open. You buy a 10€ ticket for admission to all of them. A great deal! It was a struggle getting to our meeting spot, but we made it. We went in the Berliner Dom, a Lutheran church, DDR Museen, and Pergamon Museen. It was a long night, but very much fun!

We stumbled upon the end of this ritual by the museum. They had a 7 foot tall fake pig, and people in devil hats dance around the pig while drums beat. It looked very interesting! This spectacle drew tons of people, so it was hard to see what was going on. And then they opened the gates and everyone rushed in to participate. I'm not quite sure what it symbolized, but it seemed like a bunch of fun!

I got to bed around 3AM. Sunday was going to be a long day!
