Another Day on the Town

After spending all of yesterday at home relaxing, I figured it was time to head out to the city again today. I am extremely sore from ultimate on Friday, so working out wasn't in the cards today, but a friend from high school, Charles, was in town for the weekend so I went to go meet up with him

I found the most gorgeous cemetery near my house

We met up at the Mauerpark Flea Market. He was hanging out with some other freinds from MIT, so we all started wandering around searching for food. Sadly we didn't spend much time looking at all of the goods, so I will need to go back for that, but we did get to see a pretty amazing sight: kareoke singing which goes on every Sunday and TONS of people were watching. It was pretty amazing juts how many people were watching, and how people were still going up with almost no skill and singing. It is one thing singing in front of a bar of 20, 10 of whom you probably know, but this was a crowd of 300-400! The first woman was great, but the next two weren't excellent. Props for trying though.

She sang Dog Days Are Over by Florence and the Machines

After that, I showed them the Mauer memorial that I raved about on Wednesday and then we headed over to the Tiergarten. I got a replica Germany jersey on the way so I can wear it tomorrow for their game against Portugal. The Tiergarten was relaxing, but the very exciting part was going up the Victory Tower. It turns out there is actually a museum inside of it, and for 3 euros (2.50 if you're a student), you can go in and also go up to the top of it. It has a spectacular view of Tiergarten and the Berlin skyline.

After this I headed home to rest and start the daily watching of the WM: France v Honduras
