Fresh air in Berlin

We seem to be the only ones who feel the cold in Berlin. These are hearty souls, who prefer to sit outside to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner, at one of the thousands of sidewalk cafes, or to spend an afternoon working in their 'Kleingarten', a small garden --often with a little house -- that's part of a large area divided into many small gardens, sometimes called a 'garden colony'. Fences separate and surround them but there are public paths running through, so you can cut through and have a look at everybody's projects. Lots of flowers and veggies, and sometimes fruit trees. This is one I walk by everyday on my way to Ruedesheimer Platz.
