I woke up with this song playing in my head and it has stuck with me; I just got to let it go:
With yesterday morning sunny and warm, there was a Mittwoch Market going on in the Karl August Platz. After Koffee there I got on the S-Bahn and went to Köpenick...an older part of Berlin with a lot of 19th Century architecture. Walking around the town I found the Rathaus and then the Schloss Köpernick. There I walked the beautiful grounds and spent some quiet time there.
On my way back to the S-Bahn I ventured a side path and walked through a woods. Having grown up around woods, this had a very homey feel to it.
From Köpenick, I got on the S-Bahn and headed for Treptower Park, the site where in 1919 revolutionaries rallied 150,000 striking workers. In 1945, 20,000 soviet soldiers were killed here during the battle for Berlin. There is a huge sculpture here of a soldier carrying a child standing on a smashed swastika.
After getting home I freshened up and headed for the Kufürstendamm to hit the Prinzknecht for Happy Hour. Met some new faces and now am looking forward to this coming weekend. Manuela will be back this evening and tomorrow we will be heading to the CODA D.A.CH weekend retreat. A chance to meet a lot new faces.
