Photo's: Moveable Berlin Wall, Natural History Museum, Old Air Artilery Place, Zoo

June 17th: Visit to the Natural history museum.

Slight detour --> An old east german building: No entry allowed! But an asian tourist/photographer snuck in there to get photos.
They moved this portion of the wall to a different area! I just happened upon it. Do you remember my seeing it somewhere else at the beginning of my trip?

















This one was done by a famous artist:














You put your elbow on these holes, then cover your ears, and your hands turn into speakers. It's neat.































June 18: Today a group of us students went to check out the Berlin Underground Tours. It took us into one of the few bunkers remaining in Berlin. After, we went across the street to see another bunker area that people had attempted to destroy, but failed since a bunker is bomb proof and they had attempted to remove it with dynamite. Fail.





Memorial to a united berlin, errected in 1967:
 

Portion that they tried to destroy. Most of the hills in Berlin are from old piles of rubble (after WWII) that they just put dirt and trees on top.













June 19: The Berlin Zoo --> Butt challenge
To earn points here were the guidelines
1) 1 point per butt
2) 1 point per bum hole
3) 1 point for proof of things exiting bum hole
4) Multipliers received from multiple bums in the photo
5) 1 photo per cage/area
6) 2 hind legs, or bum hole required to count it as a butt







Do these count as multiple butts?




To continue the "butt" theme, he is Bryan's butt!

This lama doesn't have a butt. Just 2 faces.




Here are just some cute photos:
The highllight of the zoo was the armadillo:



A hedgehog got into the cage of the chimps... they all had different reactions to it, but mostly they were cruel to it.
This guy had lots of dreadlocks:


A lake monster!!!!:



He was balancing on the cement borders of his cage:






The panda was VERY sick! Very unwell. It was sad to see...

I thought all swans were white!

Sarah's Bryan came for a visit! We went to the Berlin Zoo together :) Here he is being a statue. You can't see it but he is on a tiny concrete island in between running water.

These guys were pretty cool:


This horse reminds me of when I was in iceland with Scott, and there were the wild icelandic ponies.

It didn't like me:

Statue going over the bridge!

Mom's favourite: the Baby Zebras (there were 2)



This guy kept honking at me:

Baby goats!
I ran out of food:
