Berlin

Old church was left the way it was after the war. It looked so strange, like a scar, which it is.

Berlin

THE WALL. One of two parts that was left up and yeah I had a bad hair day.

Berlin

The Wall. West on the left - east on the right. today there is almost no difference.

Berlin

Bricks now show where the wall was. It was really cool to see.

Berlin

I guess you could say I am setting on the fence.

Checkpoint Charlie

I'm under the sign.

Checkpoint Charlie

For some reason the walk lights in Berlin are super famous.

Travis, I only have one word - unbelievable. When I saw these pictures I was even more impressed with the saying, "Don't tell me about your education - tell me where you have traveled." For example I just read the Letters and Papers from Prison by Dietrich Bonhoeffer who was hanged by the Nazis on April 9, 1945. I thought I was smart until I saw your picture and comment at his house. Way to go Travis. If you were not my son I would be jealous of your picture at Martin Luther's memorial. Almost everyday of my life as a child I heard about the Berlin Wall - and you were there. For years I heard about the Nuremberg Trials - your pictures enabled me to better understand history. The one picture of the water was beautiful. I loved the picture of the Brandenburg Gate. They were all good pictures.

Why east side?
Apart from the 2 photos with the Brandenburg Gate, all shown places are either in former West Germany or former West Berlin. And even on the Brandenburg Gate photos you're no more than 100 meters onto the east side.
