Today was a beautiful day in Berlin. The sun was out and it was warm but not too hot. I walked from the Hilton down Leipziger Strasse to Potsdamer Platz and then down to the Gemalde Gallerie. Having purchased my 3-day card yesterday, the price went up to 24e but still worth it, I did not have to wait in line and went right in to the collection. This is a great collection of Old Masters. I visit here every time I come to Berlin. It has a little of everything but my favorites are the 2 Vermeers.
Normally after visit I stop at the outdoor café and have a beer or two.. But today I did not because I had enouph beer last night. Instead I walked down Erbert Strasse to the Brandenburg Tor and then went to Lowenbrau on Leipziger Strasse for lunch. I had the Wiener Schnitzel with cabbage salad and potatoes and a dark Weiss beer all for 13e. Yesterday I found ARD bar on Weinmeister Strasse. I had eaten there twice last summer and looked for it the other day un successfully. It is a great place to stop for a beer or coffee. The food is basic German and good and the price is right. Last year I watched the World Cup semi-final with Germany there.
