Today we met with our friends Richard and Odette, and their daughter Maia, who are staying in Berlin for 3 months. We had a nice leisurely lunch, catching up, and then spent the rest of the afternoon wandering around the Museum Insel. This island, home of some of Berlin's most beautiful museum buildings, has been in a constant state of reconstruction and restoration since the end of the war. And they still have a ways to go.
Vera with our friends:
Here is a facade that still has bullet marks from the war:
I love the red marble on this facade:
And I still can't resist the colors of construction, especially combined with the old buildings:
The S-Bahn is on the left; it travels right through middle of the island:
The dome of the Berliner Dom, with the Fehnsenturm in the background.
