Sorry abut the delay on the posting. Last night was rough, jet lag and five year olds don't mix. But I am pleased to say we had great fun yesterday. Lindsay and Nick's place is in a cool neighborhood. I know it's cool because it's urban, and we are surrounded by hipsters, half of them with small kids. It's just like being at home.
Wednesday we spent trolling two museums, the Pergamonmuseum, and the Neues Museum. The Pergamonmuseum has reconstructed the Market Gates of Miletus, the Ishtar Gates, and has many more artifacts from ancient civilizations. What impressed all of us most was how they had the gates reconstructed inside the museum building has the gates would have been where they stood.
The main attraction at the Neues was a 3000 year old bust of Nefertiti. Sorry no pictures allowed. It suffices to say, the bust of Nefertiti you can picture in your head right now, this is it. But we do have some pictures of other Egyptian stuff.
Both museums are on Museumsinsel (Museum Island) were they have five or so museums in one place, nerd heaven, we loved it. Credit were credit is due Janelle is great at being mom/tour guide.
