Spandau


We had a lovely weekend in Berlin--temperatures hit 10 both Saturday and Sunday and there was even sun! We went exploring a neighborhood in Kreuzberg on Saturday and on Sunday headed to Spandau. Technically part of Berlin (and on the U7), Spandau feels like a different city. Its old town is largely intact as is its 700 year old citadel.  Lots of nice little pubs and restaurants we didn't go in--who would want to leave that sun?


Emery found gold treasure in the citadel


The Italian Hofs


Still plenty of ice on the moat


Dan asked, "Why are they saluting?" Yes, it had been that long since we'd seen the sun!

That's a coat! It's his Nelson Mandela (school) jacket that we agreed upon purchase was only to be worn when temperatures are above freezing.
