Jen's dad was good enough to stay at our place to watch the dogs while in Germany.

He enjoyed exploring Boston on his own, he said the girls were good, but he did mention how Tara (the cat) isn't really nice to anyone. The girls and I have been trying to tell Jen that for a number of years now.

This is the Titanic, and all in chocalate. This is one of the oldest chocolate stores in Berlin and continues to be family owned.

When we checked out at the register, the cashier did give my 2 Barbies extra chocolates. I'm sure it was out of pity, but we did enjoy the choclates.

For those of you who might be wondering or noticed, I do have 1 Barbie each in my shirt pockets. I was in charge of taking care of them, orders of 7 year old Mabel.

This area in East Berlin,used to be a huge department store, owned by a Jewish family. The area has remained opened for years, on our tour, they said one of the family members of the department store was located in California, she received a lump sum of money for her family's store.

The government now owns it and plans to build on the land, but what to build remains undecided.

This is the walk, from their house to Brandon(the husband's) work. Along the way are tons of cows and horses. Just like Nebraska.
