More Rambling on Unter Den Linden

Nothing terribly exciting today.

We walked to Unter Den Linden again to stroll from Bebelplatz to the Brandenburg Gate. Unter Den Linden (Under the Linden -- as in Linden trees) is a very wide boulevard that is tree-lined (obviously) with shops, cafes and a mixed bag of neo-classical and modern glass architecture. Very charming.

Brandenburg Gate
At the end, Brandenburg Gate is very formal and stately, though, much smaller than the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Leah and Alice were less than impressed, of course, and just wanted ice cream. So we headed back to ... Gandarmenmarkt. Again.

It was a long walk today, so we didn't get back to the apartment until 1. Then, it was the normal nap-flight-club and dinner rigamarole. Looking forward to the weekend and duel parenting!

A two word about traveling with kids: NOT IDEAL.
