Cars

So today's theme is cars... and other things.

I saw this tiny little three-wheeled thing and thought it was far too awesome to not deserve a picture. It says "dentist" on the door, so I guess this must be what the dentist drives around for house calls.
And here's a Zebra/Safari themed Land Rover. Just parked in some little Berlin neighborhood. No big deal.
And here's an idea of what the owner of that beast is paying for gas. With the conversion from liters to gallons, and then from Euros to Dollars, the Super E10 (which I believe is like regular unleaded here) comes out to about $8.32 per gallon. No wonder there are always so many people on the S-Bahn.
I walked passed the Berlin Botanical Garden today. I decided not to go in because most of the plants are still missing their leaves and I didn't want to pay 6 EU to see a bunch of twigs. But once it's closer to summer and the leaves are back I'm planning on enjoying a nice day there. I saw this quote over the gate though and I loved it.
"Stand in awe before the plant. Everything lives through it."
Anyway, nice day of walking and academic advising. I ended it with this:
Döner (aka gyros or shawarma, shown here about half eaten) and 0.5L of Erdinger Weißbier. 5 EU ($6.66) total. The food Gods have smiled upon me.
