Sunday: Good Day Sunshine

We started the day off at Mauer Park, where a flea market presented everything from new silk-screened T-shirts to vintage Soviet furniture. On the other side of town, at the massive street parade "The Carnival of Cultures," a wide variety of ethnic and cultural groups whooped and hollered their way near the Mehringdamm U-Bahn stop. Our group started out with 10 adventurers but dwindled to five as the warm afternoon and a couple issues with trams/subways took its toll on the students. But there were good faces and easy shots for the pickings!

I later found myself in a park I'd never ever seen, even "back in the day." A unique waterfall presented a very unusual contrast to normally flat Berlin. At the top, visitors sat and waited to watch the sunset. It's called "Viktoriapark" and is fairly close to the former Templehof airport.
