Berlin Bears

On one of Heinrich vacation weekends he was able to travel to Berlin which is the capitol of Germany. The city of Berlin takes it name from the symbol of the bear. All through the city there are bears of many types. There was a golden chariot pulled by golden polar bears. The bear in the chariot is holding the crest of Germany. His paws straight up and this is the shape of bears scattered through Berlin.  During the rest of his visit through Berlin, Heinrich was on an adventure to find as many different types of bears as he could find. He got some really nice pictures of some of them.

There was a bear in front of a hotel dressed up like a concierge.

 

Another bear was advertising a rental car agency.

 

One of the bears celebrated the Olympics and wore a gold metal.

The bear in front of the Malaysian Embassy was painted with tropical scenes.  Heinrich had to take this picture from the bus ride - so it is a little blurry.

One of the bears was painted with pictures of the Beetles, a music group from several years ago.

Out at the Olympic Stadium were two bears dressed up as supporters of the local football team. Remember in Germany football means soccer. That's why there is a soccer ball between them.
