Fantastic Bike Tour today

We decided to sleep in until 8:00, I got up and showered by 7:30.

Looks like a nicer day today. We plan to do a bicycal tour today through Berlin.

We went on a 5 hour bike tour with Fat Tire Bikes. We had a great guide named Tony who was from Ireland. We basically touched on a little of everything in Berlin. I especially loved seeing the Berlin Wall and Check Point Charlie again. Clarence was sick and had to bail on the tour. We met up with him at the Memorial for the Murdered Jews, which was an interesting place in it's self. We continued with the tour and Clarence went his way exploring.

It really saddens me to think about the huge number of lives lost during the first and second world wars here in this area, war is bad enough but extermination........ There is another loss as well, the amount of art and history that was obliterated from bombings. It's scary to think of the amount damage done by Adolf Hitler...... one man with his cronnies.... sadly such atrocities still occur today..... as stupid humans we haven't learned a thing.

Later we met back up with Clarence at 5:30 at the apartment. We left for a walk and had a bite to eat and of course had some beers. On our way back the Japanese were projecting a "Thank You" on the Brandenburg Gate". It was pretty cool, the main theme was "peace and Thank you". It was set to classical music so it was pretty cool. We have really lucked into some coom sights.

Did I mention I was pick pocketed yesterday and I wish I punched the crap out of the guy........ ask Joey-Lynn, Clarence and Susan, I wasn't a bit pissed off.

Went to bet about 11:30.
