Berlin Day Four – Hoop Dreams, Holocaust Memorial, Topography of Terror

Day four in Berlin we got down to tourist business. We booked a free walking tour, but got sucked into a good looking Indian restaurant and decided that way more important than making our tour time. Preparing for India, ya know?

We missed our walking tour, but there was some sort of gymastics / kids festival going on near the Brandenburg gate. They had some basketball hoops setup there so Joe and I played a few games of HORSE and some 1:1 ball. I wasn’t able to take a game off Joe, but I kept it competetive. I’ll blame the stress fracture in my foot for now. 

From the street fair we went to the Memorial for the Murdered Jews of Europe, and then onto the Topographies of Terror Museum, which focuses on the role the SS and Gestapo played in cultivating an atmosphere of terror in occupied Nazi territory.

The rain continued again and we went to a nearby Vietnamese restaurant for dinner.
