August 11th, the final day in Berlin

This vacation went by way too quickly and we can barely recall the prior ones now :(

Well, while I still can... we met up this morning and went to get our breakfast at Kempers. Following that, a dash across town to the Pergamon museum. We all had amazing time. Ishtar gate was feat of human ingenuity back when it was built and now when the german researchers put it back together one tony piece of tile after another. The Muslim collection was very impressive too. Kids walked around snapping pictures of the marvelous geometrical patterns.

Afterwards we walked a bit around the art market outside. Besought by hunger got some excellent wursts right there at the market. But soon it was time for a serious meal so we went to Que Pasa (bad choice) by the Neue synagogue followed by the teas over by the Tadjiki Tea House. 

We spent the rest of the afternoon leisurely wandering around August Strasse, stopping at the galleries, playground, and bars. After the final dash through the park we made the last stop at Persepolis, highly recommended for their food, and, with lovely Persian paintings and Ahura Mazda images on the walls a fitting close to the day that started out at Pergamon.

Done with this summer adventure. To be continued :)
