May 1st is labor day here in Germany so we had the day off.  In fact, we started the afternoon before a party in the afternoon (it was for a one-year old, so no major hangover).  Today we were invited to adventure to Berlin’s other zoo (yes, our city is so cool that it has 2 zoos), and even though we are members to the other zoo we decided to give it a go.  While the animals were not as varied or pristine, the Tierpark was a nice hybrid park/zoo complete with playgrounds, bandstands, and more.  It was a perfect day with good food and fun for all.
