Berlin Appendix.

I forgot to mention one of the crazier things we saw the first night while walking around. We stumbled upon a mysterious looking alley, which we decided to explore. About halfway down, there was a courtyard that had a good number of people sitting around a fire burning in an oil barrel. Weird in and of itself, but it gets better...

The people were watching a puppet show that was being performed by two men. Dressed as surgeons. Sitting in a van. The show was being projected on a movie screen that they mounted on top of the van, and there was weird German techno music playing as some sort of soundtrack to the whole thing. It was pretty wild. Not something you typically see when wandering though alleys...
