Simply Heaven

Jeremy and I did a lot of research before we moved to Berlin. We wanted to make sure we moved into a neighbourhood with lots of history and culture, good preschools, that was close to church and Jeremy's work, and safe. We knew we wanted to hit the ground running on the house hunt ASAP. Via the Internet, we narrowed it down to one area: Zehlendorf.

Today we went to visit our new hood. We left the subway station and entered a world of farmers markets, children, dogs without leashes, cobble stone and tree-lined roads, houses with histories, street vendors and musicians, friendly faces eager to give a "guten tag" and delightful speciality stores and delis. In one word: HEAVEN.

We have some great leads on houses for rent; although I'm tempted to buy and stay forever.

Here is a small sample of the beautiful houses (most clearly out of our price range):

I can't wait to live on street like this:

There are super awesome trails that connect the neighborhoods together. This city is perfect for biking and walking.

This is one happy husband.

I'm obsessed with farmer's markets and street vendors.

Abby thoroughly enjoyed the ice cream.

Abby could barely handle all the excitement and needed to sleep off some of the joy.

Creamy dips, fresh bread and olives = happy days.
