Berlin day 2: slowing down

We've been gone a total of nine days, and tonight our pace of walking 5-12 miles a day and not sleeping well finally caught up with us; Patrick's sleepiness morphed into a bit of the flu. We leave for Leipzig tomorrow, but will be cramming in less than planned and slowing things down until Patrick is feeling better.

For most of today, however, we fit in one of Patrick's favorite days: zoo day! The Berlin zoo is beautiful and huge, with some of the best laid out exhibits we've seen at zoos. It's full of huge old trees (one of which randomly fell right behind us as we were walking)! It was also within a huge, beautiful park, which we very much enjoyed walking through (although we were definitely surprised when we accidentally wandered through a part of the park that was apparently adopted by nudists...).
