Berlin + Kenny = 2 Of My Favorites Together!

Kenny and I continued to have an incredible week together in the Hauptstadt. We decided to enjoy Berlin and our time together this trip, instead of jet-setting across Europe like last time. The plan was brilliant, with a chance to take in all of the sites, experience my favorite places around the city, soak up the warm weather, take part in all of the festivals, and relax. A few highlights from our week include a really fun surprise birthday party for Kenny at my neighborhood Greek restaurant, eating delicious food from my favorite restaurants - including an amazing meal at Jules Verne in Charlottenburg, taking the Berliner Pils brew tour and sampling the different Berlin beers at the end of the extensive tour, flashing our museum passes and seeing a lot of exciting antiquities, a trip to Potsdam and seeing the castles on a gorgeous day, taking in a late night jazz concert, and wandering through the Festival of Cultures in Kruezberg. We had a really fantastic week together, and I cannot believe how fast it flew by!!
