P. and I had a museum visit marathon last week. We ended up going back to Hamburger Bahnhof to look at Live to Tape, a video exhibition, and the Horst Ademeit, Secret Universe show. I'd like to visit the Horst Ademeit show once more, P. got a little cranky so we just breezed through it.

We also went out to Köpenick for the first time to see the palace, which is part of the state museum network in Berlin housing some of the handmade pieces such as furniture, jewelry and porcelain. The show there was interesting for me, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you're into that sort of thing. Nonetheless it was a nice day trip out of the city center. The atmosphere in the old city of Köpenick is great, it's surrounded by water and marinas. I want to go back one day when the weather is nice and take a spin on the paddle boats.

At the end of the week we met up with our friend K. to take a peek at the Buchstaben Museum (Museum of Letters), which was hidden in an old GDR mall near Alexander Platz. It's really small but filled with remnants of beautiful old signage, and only costs 2.50 Euros to get in!

I'm off today to search for some dill weed for pickling. We've been pickling up a storm here, but want to take it to the next level... more on that later this week.

Happy Tuesday.
