perhaps my favorite thing about berlin (aside from toni, naturlich) is the fact that it is SO SO verdant: the city is surrounded on all sides by gorgeous lakes and forest which you can get to in 30 minutes with the city's subway system. no extra train needed. truly amazing.
and so today, picnic in tow, toni and i ventured to peacock island, once the 18th - 19th century bucolic vacation spot for the prussian royal family, complete with marie-antoinette style dairy farm + a few fake ruined castles thrown in, now a glowing, glorious way to spend the day...

so pretty. i had no idea berlin (and the areas around berlin) were so lovely.
looks wonderful - can't wait till we see it inperson! and by the way, Rhubarb?? who knew? mom
i know you've never seen 'cloudy with a chance of meatballs' because it's a children animated film, but that entire post with all the 'peacocks!', 'castles!' and the like was so totally that movie. you have a million adorable nieces and nephews, you should watch it with some of them (or all of them, your choice) and then you'll understand what i'm blabbering about.
whoa, that tree.
such pretty images, jooj. you are the best.
beautiful! and my namesake! (my new last name is pfau which means peacock in german as i'm sure you know). i shall have to go someday!
