This is me in front of what is left of the Berlin Wall. I always imagined the Berlin Wall being huge and really thick. It is probably only 10 foot tall and very thin. On this area that I am standing in front of; different artists were invited to paint certain sections of. You can also see some of the graffiti painted over the artist's work. We spent the entire day in Berlin visiting Checkpoint Charlie, the Allied Museum, Brandenberg Gate, and the allied airfield where the planes landed everyday for nine months with supplies to service the people of Berlin. Our tour guide today actually lived in West Berlin during that time.
Susan, what a historical treat!! I am so glad we got you on the blogging track. It's almost like being on vacation with you. Thanks for taking the time to keep your blog up while on such a fantastic vacation. Have fun and keep them posts and photos coming.
ReplyDeleteI agree with colleen, I am so glad you are blogging your trip! This is fun, I too thought the berlin wall was huge, I guess they way everyone talked about it made it seem larger then life.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see where we go next!!!
