That night, we went to a Berlin Pride street festival full of crepes, music, currywurst, and an exceptionally high amount of leather. The next day, Cason's dad flew into Berlin and we met him for lunch and a trip to a flea market selling millions of nicnacs. We discovered that German junk looks very similar to American junk. Later that afternoon, Cason and I explored Fstein, a student neighborhood with millions of cute cafes and interesting boutiques. We went to this organic burger place that used all local ingredients called Frittiersalon and had the BEST burger outside of louis lunch imaginable. I got the texas burger which came with a fried egg on top and it blew me away. To top off the amazing meal, Let's Go highly recommended an organic vegan ice cream stop around the corner from the burger place so we made our way in that direction. The vegan Chocolate Soy ice cream was AMAZING. I had a cone with that and passionfruit and while I know those flavors sound pretty disgusting today, it was delicious and I would recommend it to everyone.
The next few days, we explored other parts of Berlin, saw the East Side Gallery, the book burning monument, the DDR museum, spent more time with the Crane family, and got a tour of the American Embassy in Berlin!

We also made some great friends at Helter Skelter who we did everything with in Berlin as though we had come to travel together. Our last night in Berlin was one of the guy's birthdays, so instead of going out to eat we went to the supermarket and bought ingredients and made a vegetarian feast to celebrate a birthday and also to bid Cason and I adieu as we left for Amsterdam.
