First day in Berlin

After a busy travel day we finally made it to our hotel! It is on the second floor of an old building on a narrow tree-lined street a couple of blocks from a busy shopping area. The decor is from the 1930's with art nuveau influence. We take the bus and trains and subway to get around. Our first major trip was to see the Olympic Stadium from the 1936 Olympics. We also took a train to the former East Berlin area and walked around. You don't see many overweight people here and I'm guessing it's because they have to walk everwhere to get to the trains. I do miss ice; they don't use it so drinks aren't very cold. It was sunny and in the 80's.
