Saturday was a completely free day, and I ended up going with others to a few museums on Museum Island. We saw a lot of Roman and Egyptian stuff, but the highlight was probably the Beard exhibit they had. Not only did they have a picture with Heim, the second best beard guy in Germany (and someone we met during the Jewish walking tour!), but they also had part of a tablet with the Epic of Gilgamesh on it. Pretty cool stuff.
We also saw the famous Queen Nefertiti head. Other than that though, the museums got a bit repetitive... lots of the same stuff, usually funeral related.

The architecture was pretty impressive as well.
Afterwards we at lunch at the little food market we'd found on Friday while having a glass of beer. It was a nice place, the food was great and affordable. Can't remember the name, but worth going to if anyone finds it again.
We went out for a couple of drinks after dinner and that was the end of the last day in Berlin. I really loved this trip. I learned a lot and had a great time doing it. Berlin has become one of my favorite cities! I can't wait to go back. Big thanks to the Professor Kronenberg and Professor Bridges for making this trip happen!
