Reunion of the Dilthey/Michelsen family (cousins) : Tilo, Ulla,Alexander, Daniela – Dilthey, Chris, Kathleen, Jost, Anci Michelsen; and our dear friend Ulrike Einsenberg (Neuro Surgeon) and her family. Ulrike found this most interesting restaurant, and entertainment for the next day. Our firt was Lubitsch, dedicated to :

Ernst Lubitsch was a German American film director, producer, writer, and actor. His urbane comedies of manners gave him the reputation of being Hollywood’s most elegant and sophisticated director; as his prestige grew, his films were promoted as having “the Lubitsch touch”. Born January 29, 1892, Berlin, Germany
The next day, facing the cold brisk weather, we visited

The Berlin Zoological Garden (German: Zoologischer Garten Berlin) is the oldest and best-known zoo in Germany. Opened in 1844 it covers 35 hectares (86.5 acres) and is located in Berlin‘s Tiergarten. With about 1,380 different species and over 20,200 animals the zoo presents one of the most comprehensive collection of species in the world

Late afternoon came our big surprise organrised by our dear Ul
Salon music which was a popular music genre in Europe, this concert by Douglas Vistel, a famous Cuban Cellist and a pianist, his German wife . (www.vistels.com). Each of us present could give him a request for a particular piece we wished to be played. Like Bach, Saint-Sens, Drovak…..
