The last day of a decade

As I type the pops and cracks of fireworks are going off in the background of the city, here in Berlin. We spent the day, after sleeping in, shopping and walking, but I asked Jim if we could use the train more today as my legs were still in a lot of pain— so we only walked 7 1/2 miles. We visited the East side of Berlin and walked thru the wall gallery where the wall is stil up and now used as a graffiti gallery for international artists. Most stores closed by 2pm so we had to cut our shopping short but I found a Nivea store I loved w nothing but Nivea products. While Jim was at a bookstore I went to a Birkenstock’s store and got a new pair of sandals for cheaper than I can get them in the states. We had an early dinner taking out Turkish Doner Kabops and French fries back to our hotel room. We enjoyed some chocolate and mineral water for desert and got foot rubs with my Nivea creme.
