Bear-lin? Nein, Berlin!

For those of you who know Susan and me well (maybe too well), I couldn't resist the pun. We have reached Berlin and what a thrill it is. It is truly one of the world's major cities in all senses of that term. The streets of Charlottenburg, a major brand name, big name, expensive shopping district, were teeming with Saturday shoppers. There are all manner of people out, too. I heard at least a dozen languages spoken as I prowled the KaDeWe department store.

And what a department store it is! As I recall Herrod's in London or Macy's in New York City, this has them all beat. I don't know if the website communicates its extent, but check it out if you are so inclined.

Sorry, no eye candy until maybe I return to the US. I'm posting from an Internet cafe in a Dunkin' Donuts (really!) for the duration while in Berlin. Why yes, I'll have another....
