Today we went on an 8-mile bike ride around Berlin with our British tour guide Sofia. We explored East Berlin and crossed the bridge into West Berlin. Berlin is really rough around the edges and artistic. It’s beautiful in a non-conventional sense, and street art masks a lot of the buildings. It’s unique because there is a sense of artistic and personal freedom to create and destroy as you wish. Here are my favorites from the day.

Passing the 5-story Alexa shopping center.
TV tower in the distance.
Two elderly Berliners conversing from balcony to balcony.
This place looks like a dump, but it’s actually been repeatedly ranked the top nightclub in the world: Berghain.
Street art on the side of Berghain.
These next couple pictures are from my favorite place from the day and probably of all time. An artistic wasteland.
