Here's a sampling of what we saw in Berlin. I'll post more pictures from other locales at a later time.


Above: The 'last' Cremlin flag (the fine print on the sign notes that it's a replica).

Below: Part of the Berlin wall. We were standing on the East German (communist) side.


Above: Sarah at "Checkpoint Charlie" (the former border between East and West Germany).

Below: the entrance to the Reichstag (the German parliment building, built in 1894).


Above: the line at the Reichstag (where's Waldo?)

Below: the Brandenburg Gate (symbol of Berlin, built 1788; where JFK said he was a Berliner/Jelly Doughnut; where Regan said, "Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall!").


Above: Symbolic stones at the Holocaust memorial.
