Here we come walking down the street

Holla, 

Last day in Berlin and we went CRAY a.k.a had an easy day. 

We wandered around where we live (which is actually the coolest neighborhood in Berlin. Fact). 

We stopped in all of the thrift shops and home decorating stores- which we discovered both of us LOVE and spent tons of time looking at clocks, mugs, and lamps. 

 After some exploring, we went to Vöner-  a completely VEGAN restaurant and ate the best possible Vöner and burger ever. Berlin is known for its "Döner", which you should look up if you haven't heard of it- but watch out for the disgusting pictures of rotating dead flesh on a stick that you are about to see. However, this place was AWESOME. literally so good that we kept eating and eating until we had trouble walking. 

Turns out that wasn't the only reason we had trouble walking. More feet trouble! But this time it was IDALIA not ZIA. #Zia'sgratefulandhasbeenworkingonherwalking. #progressisbeingmade 
Fact: Idalia has bad circulation. Especially in her fingers and toes (this is why she needs people to sit on her feet in the winter). However, today was especially nippy and we walked a ton so Idalia's feet started feeling like her toes had fallen off (despite her "Darn Tough" socks- www.darntough.com). Luckily we made it to a cafe before they actually did. 
First we went to a cafe on Karl Marx Street that was supposed to be a "must see" according to the internet and guidebook but we decided it was too fancy and not our cup of tea #punnyidalia #accident #geniusamiright? So instead we went to our fav spot from a couple days ago. #goodcake #soyamilch 

On our way home we HAD to take a selfie with our favorite tag (TOFU!) in Berlin. That is actually a huge honor because Berlin has a TON of graffiti all over the place. 

Below is us now, except with a lot less wine. It took us a while to get there though. You'd think opening a bottle of wine wouldn't be so hard to do, but you're wrong, especially when the corkscrew you find is very unusual a.k.a. doesn't work. Of course, we tried out the corkscrew first, but the damn cork wouldn't budge. The next logical step was to wrap it in a towel and bang the whole bottle against the wall many times. No worries, no walls were harmed in the opening of this wine bottle. Unfortunately, the cork did not magically pop out of the bottle, like the internet promised. After some research, we concluded the next best thing to do was to screw a nail into the cork and try to pull the nail plus cork contraption out of the bottle with pliers. After that failed (surprise, surprise!), we considered using a knife to remove the cork, but then thought better of that. As Zia was about to watch a fifteen minute instructional video about how to open a bottle of wine without a corkscrew, Idalia opened the bottle of wine. How you ask? With the corkscrew...

Since then, we have been packing, listening to our fav mix tape (made by Idalia) named Lil Zayne and featuring some good 'ole classics like Rihanna, Yellowcard, Alicia Keys, P!nk, Justin Timberlake, Teddy Geiger, Avril, Vanessa Carlton , and many more...

Gotta go- our private dance club is calling (aka our room),

Word of the Day:

Die Gegend: Neighborhood

Wir sind in unsere Gegend spazieren gegangen. Wir leben in Friedrichshain. Friedrichshain hat viele kleine Geschäfte und viele Restaurants. Wir sind zu Vöner gelaufen. Vöner ist ein vegan Restaurant mit vielen Optionen für uns. Wir haben zu viel gegessen und wir haben ein bisschen mühe zu laufen. Aber jetzt, ist alles gut. Wir wünschen dass wir in Oberlin ein Vöner haben, vielleicht in der Nähe von Agave.
