Unter den Linden (continued...)

(what is this with the picture quota on Blogger?!)

Each of the huge sculptures on the "Walk of Ideas" is meant to symbolize “the richness of ideas and the spirit of invention which characterizes Germany’s composers, writers, scientists, engineers and perfectionists.” We just had a ton of fun climbing all over them, taking silly pictures and making the embarrassing Ieva-as-slug video.

[Zu ponders the “Theory of Relativity”]

[I can’t wait to get around to reading some more of these authors published by “Modern Book Printing”]

[Crazy musician among the scattered notes of the “Masterpieces of Music”]

[I just sit back and listen]

[The “Innovative Football Boots” are meant for the Fussball giants of the future]

[Taking a bite out of the giant pill that’s part of the “Milestones of Medicine”]

[Where did "the Automobile" go?!]

On our away from sculpture to sculpture we also walked by the Reichstag and one of Calatrava’s bridges. I was getting a bit too excited at the first taste of the Berlin that I’d been studying in the fall. I feel like once I’m Zuless. the never ending walks may become daily routine again. (I love walking a bit too much.)

It has also been very weird living in a bubble of two, with Zujus and me conversing in Lithuanian and not at all feeling like we stand out very much. It’s weird though, because in Berlin it almost seems natural to be a foreigner. I also love already having my own neighborhood to return to, with a very own fruit dealer. And I'm already recognizing faces on the street - this living in one place deal is weird, but very pleasant.
