So far, we have explored the subway, the trains, the taxis and lots of walking! We have yet to take bus or a boat, but would welcome anyone to visit for a boat or double-decker tour of the city because Lizzy is definitely interested. Mostly, we have checked out the playgrounds, which are mainly wood and look like a challenge course. All sand, so we get pretty dirty daily, but they are around every corner, so we stay busy. In between playgrounds, we typically stop for a coffee and pastry. So far, I think Lizzy's favorite is the scheineohre, which is a pig's ear, which is called an elephant ear in Indiana. So as you can imagine, it is a healthy mid-morning or afternoon snack!
We walked to the pool today in the rain and went for a swim. The pool was super cold because all the school groups come for lessons and they keep the kids busy. We left when Katherine's lips turned blue and people were talking about it...not sure what they were saying, but...
The girls are sleeping or keeping each other awake in the same room. Katherine has climbed out of the pack n play already, so I moved it to the center of the room for less climbing footholds. Still, she can get her leg on the top now, so it won't be long. Think Lizzy will get a regular bed and Katherine will take the toddler bed when we move to our permanent accommodation.
We hope to have somewhere with a guest room permanently set up so that visitors can show up at the last minute. Can't wait to see everyone!

Hey! I recognize that little monkey! Glad to see he is enjoying Berlin as well!
Unfortunately, Monkey had to go everywhere. And on Saturday, Monkey decided it was time to explore Berlin on his own. I think I was the most upset that he was gone! Hope someone is loving him well and keeping him dry!
