last week, isabella and her roommate from paris visited me for a few days. we had great times, including a really fun dancing friday night out at rosi's, a very berlin, diy, grunge-esque friedrichshain club/bar. but the highlight was definitely our saturday visit to the tierpark, i.e. the former eastern-berlin zoo. we walked all over the gigantic park and visited with our favorite mammals and avian-variety creatures. definite favorite was the baby elephant, born only 2 months ago.
