They have marked the path of the wall with cobblestones along much of its length

Just call me Patch
Standing in front of a giant decorated Christmas tree in central Berlin. You can see that Andrew's wearing an eye patch as his eye is still a bloody mess

Brandenburg Gate
So many years after Napoleon arrived, it was here that Reagan said "Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"

Brandenburg Quadriga
Looted by Napoleon, returned to Berlin in 1814 and later fitted with the iron cross as a symbol of Nazi power, the quadriga still remains an icon of Berlin

Reichstag Dome
An impressive peice of architecture

Reichstag Cone
The cone that forms the interior of the Reichstag dome reflects the empty blue seats of Germany's Bundestag parliament

Ampelmänn
Ampelmänn (little traffic light man) became a mascot of the East German nostalgia movement....we had heard of him and wanted to get a souvenir...and were surprised that they had a whole store of Ampelmann stuff

Towers of Power
We pray to different gods these days...

We still couldn't understand the idea that you could be trapped in your own country.
