Berlin ~ Day 4
WHAT: Travel   |   WHEN: May 19, 2008

We wrapped up the conference I was here for yesterday afternoon, and I had a chance to get outside and look around the city a little. Today will be a big photo hunting exercise for my last day, but we covered a a fair amount today, and there is still so much more to see. Not. Enough. Time.

Okay daylight's burning, so I'm gonna be short on words today, but here's some of yesterdays images.


This was graffiti on a section of the remaining Berlin wall. Sweet, I found my name.



More wall graffiti.


The Potsdamer Plats district has really flourished since the wall came down in 1989. Lots of new, modern growth here.



A cobble stone trail snakes through the city marking the location of the wall before it was torn down.


Sections of the Berlin Wall still remain standing as historic markers.



You can rent these little cars to drive around the city.



This is Checkpoint Charlie. It was at this point where a milestone event in the start of the Cold War occurred when an American tank and a Russian tank faced-off for more than a day before both being ordered to retreat.



If I had a goatee, I'd be a dead ringer for a Russian.




An image of the Holocast Memorial I snagged during the bus ride.










These last few images are from the place we had dinner at last night.
