Happy Halloween!

Thank you so much for all the lovely purple creepy-crawlies!
Surprisingly, we even had a few groups of kids coming around for trick-or-treating! Many had rehearsed poems or songs and even carried simple music instruments.
Otherwise, Berlin was a complete zoo today. Large parts of Germany had a public holiday today, Reformation Day, commemorating the day that Martin Luther nailed his 95 thesis to the Wittenberg church doors.
Berlin, being the most secular of all German provinces, had a normal working day, while Brandenburg, the province which surrounds Berlin, had a day off (even though there are less people belonging to a church in Brandenburg than in Berlin).
Can. You. Imagine. The. Traffic?
Note to self: absolutely no shopping or errands of any sort on Reformation Day!
