Different art pieces in Olympiapark. Jill and Matt decided to ride the lion. All three know how to pose for a picture.
From the tower, we could see a large group filling one side of the Olympic Stadium. So we went to see what was worth such a gathering. It was free (no admission)... Everyone was dressed in Sunday clothing on a Friday afternoon... Families with little kids were there... No, not a regional conference of the true church... JWs! 
Matt hooked up in a harness that was attached to bungee cords that were fastened to two poles. Underneath was a trampoline. You get the idea.
We ride the street cars and subways to move about the city. The hotel issues day passes, so for the cost of our room, we can leave the car parked and see the city. Jill and Matt are on the escalator coming up from the subway.
The mass transit system is really good. Covers the whole city, and trains and busses come frequently. During the rush hours we are packed in tightly with everyone else, it seems. But then we get a real "feel" for the locals.
When in a catholic church do as the catholics do. Matt and Jill lit a candel for all of us. The candels were paid for - 50 cents each. We came back later to this Frauen Kirche to hear a short organ concert. It is a very tall, very old, very beautiful church with great resonating accoustics for organ music and gregorian choirs.

Did you say a prayer with each candle you lit? I love how you wander into all these other religious services. When will Matt build a bungee trampoline at your house?
And NOW I know why Jill hasn't been returning my phone calls!
Hope you didn't take communion. ;)
