This first section is fairly long. We found it just down the road from Checkpoint Charlie. This is the backside and behind it there is an exhibit "Berlin 1933-1945: Between Propaganda and Terror." At the site of the exhibit, remnants of a cellar exist where the Gestapo was headquartered and many atrocities took place.
Near the center of the photo above, there is a brick path, two bricks wide. This is a memorial that runs through the city of Berlin as a reminder of where the Berlin Wall stood. It runs through the sidewalk, and at times through the streets and through grass.
I can't remember the intersection, but there are several thin sections of the wall standing and there is information about the history of the Berlin Wall between each section.
I still have more to post about Berlin and many more things happening at home. I'll try to be a little more consistent about posting.

How long does it take to get to Berlin and by way of transportation? People here in the states don't really realize how easy it is to travel from country to country much state to state here. Just an idea...=) Love Skippy
Skip--Thanks for stopping by. It only took about two hours to fly to Berlin from Edinburgh and we found fantastic tickets. I think it only cost us about $400 for our entire family to fly round trip!
