25 July 22: After yesterday’s shenanigans, we have now figured out how public transportation is going to look from our apartment (numerous closures this week near us, both the S-Bahn and the trams are unavailable). We aren’t far from the Alexanderplatz train station, about 0.4km away.

Today we are taking our time getting ready and will take a midday train to the town of Wittenberg, to see the Schlosskirche where Martin Luther nailed the 95 Theses, a milestone in establishing the Protestant church.

Dave and I walked to a local grocery this morning to pick up food for the apartment. As always, we thoroughly enjoyed seeing the differences in foods (and prices) compared to other countries.
