Drill Baby, Drill


On Monday I helped a local artist, Dan Sieple, dig a hole for a well. He plans to pump out the water onto the pile of ruble nearby turning it into a fountain. This is an area of Berlin called Stadt Mitte and is a section of land where the Berlin Wall once used to stand but has not been redeveloped. What we discovered is that there is building ruble buried 3 meters deep underground that has been accumulating since WWII.

Photos of the Week

It has been a few weeks since we last posted, so I thought I would at least post some photos depicting the last week in Berlin.

First of all, we got married two weeks ago!! See Photos here:



Then we spent our honeymoon weekend at Tropical-Islands which is Europe's largest indoor tropical park.



Since then...


This building by our apartment has been covered in a wall of light.


Attended an opening at Autocenter.


Only 80 cents! German-American humor.


An exceptional exhibition at Program gallery, projecting videos onto existing architectural features.


German playgrounds!


The seasonal drink, a hot glass of fresh peppermint tea.


The noteworthy, final exhibition of Homie gallery.

(Sorry they are all cell phone pics but it is better than nothing...)
