This is a famous old church in Berlin, bombed out in World War II but left in disrepair as a reminder of what happened here.

It’s a relic left in the middle of what has become a modernized Berlin, rebuilt to accommodate modern transportation wirh wide thoroughfares and highways. It stands empty amongst huge glass office towers in a business and shopping district.

Here’s a photo from that old classic film, Wings of Desire, by Wim Winders (shot in glorious black and white in 1987).

Modern Berlin is very hipster/arty. This is a classic brunch-style Saturday morning type restaurant. The inside looks like a rainforest.

The food is classic healthy food, an egg over a salad with rice, avocado and tomatoes.

Let me tell you guys: the food in Europe is SO much more flavorful than the states and yet simple. What a meal!

Now, if you want to finish your day in Berlin with somenthing relaxing, yet educational, I’d recommend one of the river boat tours.

Get the English translation on your headset and get yourself a beer.
