We spent the day visiting several galleries and museums. First up was the Kathe Kollwitz museum (very close to our hotel) featuring her paintings, etchings and sculptures depicting the weavers' revolt and themes of war and death (personified). Amazing talent and memorable pieces! The museum also seemed to be situated in a local gallery row, so I'm sure we'll be back to that street.

Next we went to the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin (Alte Nationalgalerie) - a pretty awesome building that was a work of art in itself. We saw some awful paintings mixed in with some gems, in particular one piece (forgot the name) that Ben was excited to see in real life. It reminded me of *Shadow of the Colossus*.

Finally we went to the DDR museum which we had been planning on for a couple days. It is supposed to be an extremely hands-on museum depicting the rebirth of social culture in Berlin post-wall falling, but is pretty underwhelming. There are some neat moments though.

Determined to get on some sort of normal sleep schedule, we "napped" until about midnight, then got some food (really good kebab stand) around 2:00am and now it's 4:00am and time for real sleep.

I'm a big fan of jackets, and I got a killer one from a nearby store. The cold and gray
isn't so bad now. Still gray though.
