What looks like a gypsie, smells like a gypsie and talks like an American?

... a gypsie. So today Peter and I were tooling around Brandenberg Gate when we go across it and this women comes up to me and asks if I know english. She sounds like an American so I turn around to notice her and she hands me a card. Oh dang! The card has some paragraph written in English and I know I messed up. I drop the card and walk away fast, checking my pockets making sure I have everything. Thankfully nothing was taken, but it sure was a scare.

Thats the thing we are running into Berlin, gypsies. Its our first time encountering them and their annoying, thieving ways. So that was a quick reality check, but now we've adjusted and I've wised up.

Also, we leave for Prague tomorrow for 3 nights, then off to Munich for 4 nights and then Venice and Florence etc.

So for now, just remember, watch out for those dam gypsies when in Berlin!

That is so funny, I remember brandemburg gate. I did not have that problem at all, and matter of fact Sera and I did not have any problems in Berlin at all with gypsies. Well maybe that had to do something with I had a 100lbs Schaferhund (German Shepperd) on a leash walking next to me.
However the holocost museum security people had an issue with Diego, Sera and I. Apparently I did not know it was part of the museum and we were walking through it and like in Bourne series was surrounded by security people asking us to leave now....No Hunds!
Enjoy Prague, I liked it when I was there. There was a cool tavern that is near the big glockenspiel you should check out.

Peace and enjoy!
