The Berlin Wall

What a historical place to visit. I have become so enamored with the city of Berlin that Hanna and Manu bought us a book.

Unbelievable visit here! We stayed at Hanna's parent's house. It felt like staying at the Ritz! Ria and Jochen were so great to us. The Wall history is frightening and fascinating, and our friends lived through this historic time. To listen to them tell personal anecdotes of November 9, 1989 is spine-tingling and inspirational!

Fight the Power!!

Our Berlin Family! Thanks so much to all of you! : )

Olympic Stadium, Berlin
Home of Hertha BSC of Berlin. Proud team of domination represented by one Manu Raditz (sorry Hanna).

Hanna, Ria and Jochen
They all were sooo incredible sweet to us! We can't wait to treat them at our deluxe hotel on Mission Blvd when they come out to visit in San Diego (shhhhhh!).

Hanna, KT and Manu...
Modeling in front of the Olympic Stadium in Berlin were Jesse Owens rocked the house in 1936!!

Once small piece of the remaining "Wall"
The citizens of Berlin demolished most of the Wall immediately after the revolution in 1989. Many sections have been used for reconstruction or have been auctioned off to museums and private owners.

Holocaust Memorial
This unique memorial is designed to let the visitor walk through the maze of blocks of varying heights until you are below 'city level'. Extremely solemn, yet respectfully created. Controversy still surrounds, however.
