More to come as we are taking a boat ride on the Spree and going to the Opera Il Trittico by Puccini We went to breakfast and then wandered around the Tiegarten District. Took some architecture pictures. The gate in the pictures is of Emperor Friedrich the First and his queen Charlotte. We ran into a very eclectic flea market that I could of bought some cool collectibles and much of it antique items from old German families, and quite intriquing. Cool little lunch and dinner place in a boat on the Spree River. A Royal Royce jet engine and my previous employer Werner Von Siemens. He did not remember me. The Porzellan manufacturer dating back to the 1700’s KPM Konigliche Porzellan Manufacturer for the emperors, now even a simple peasant with a few EU’s to spare can buy one. The rather stern looking sculpture in red did not have a placard but look very much like something from Communist occupied Berlin but my geography might be off, lets just say red, with a severe demeanour.

No Pictures please we looked bedraggled. Seattle to Paris late leaving Seattle so we missed our Paris to Berlin connection finally in Berlin just a location update more interesting posts to follow. At least I hope so. Out for now and try to stay awake.

A bit of a taste of Berlin in our wanderings our first day. We first stopped by this very nice coffee shop. The weather here is warm for this time of year, and a bit muggy. Most restaurants have outdoor seating, so it makes for a very vital social scene. My first general impression of the city’s architecture is how crisp are the lines of the structures. Actually a little bit uniform in a modernistic style, if you will.. This look was explained to me by a local, that much of the city’s structures were destroyed in World War two. All the same, there are a wealth of historical structures like this gate below. I did not get the name yet but impressive, just part of thee city, as folks go about their day. More to come for today. We want to take a boat ride on the Spree River, which meanders throughout the city and tonight we go to an Opera. Getting around the city is very convenient. The subway system is well established, like most European cities, Seattle where are you! I will be your roving reporter, and documentarian.

A combination of young bucks and old wise seers combined to cover 50 miles of kayaking, and a short hike up Desolation Peak.

Fondly goodby

In loving memory of Barbara Ann Kramer (AKA DeeLee & The Real Deel) devoted daughter of Barbara and James Davitte and loving sister to Heather Davitte. Barbara was born in San Francisco on December 1st, 1953 and passed away on October 19th, 2021 in the loving arms of her husband, Wayne. We mourn her passing, and take comfort in knowing that her debilitating illness no longer imposes on her indomitable spirit. She is survived by her husband Wayne, her brother Vernon with wife Amy Davitte, her nephews Geoff and wife Liz Davitte,  Greg and wife Ali Davitte, and niece Margeaux with husband Nick Serrano, along with four grand nephews and nieces including James Davitte, Stella and Scarlett Davitte, and Luke Serrano. Barbara’s empathy for all who knew her and her devotion to the care of all four footed furry friends reflected her serene heart, and whimsical good natured spirit. Her wry sense of humor never missed the mark in mirthful sharing of our life’s experiences together. In light of her struggles with Parkinson’s Dementia and her impassioned belief in animal rights and in commune with all nature’s creatures, we would ask that in lieu of flowers a donation be made to the Parkinson’s Support Group of Sonoma County or the Humane Society of Sonoma County-Santa Rosa for their continued dedication to the communities they serve. The Real Deel has left the building, but within our hearts, she will live on.
