Schloss Charlottenburg

The arctic front has moved on and spring is in full swing again in Berlin! Discard your glove! Shed your coat! Embrace the sun! And smell the flowers in the gardens at Schloss Charlottenburg...

Garden for Two

The botanical gardens - and an amazing network of parks - are very close to our apartment in the Palermo Barrio. We are not so accustomed to the walking and this sculpture aptly illustrates how we felt at the end of our excursions on Saturday and Sunday!

Jardín Botánico was a lovers' paradise. Young couples sat smooching on park bench after park bench. I parked Rich next to a lovely young woman on a bench and went exploring. When I returned he was engaged in a lively conversation with the young woman. No kissing. She was eager to practice her English!
