Heart may not be ready for goodbye but the feet need a rest!

 Today was our last day in Berlin. We started our day by going to the checkpoint Charlie museum. It's a great museum that takes you through what life was like when the wall was up. People went through extraordinary measures to escape from the east to the west. Their drastic attempts demonstrate how much they wanted to escape.  That tells me that the east was a miserable place to live. After that we headed to the topography of terror that gave a timeline and details of what happened. It also had an original section of the wall still up. I still can't believe, even after 3 days with different reminders, that this happened in my lifetime. Unreal. Hard to comprehend. Hopefully we have learned our lesson from this history. We ended the day after a late lunch at the Sony center, where movie premiers are shown in Berlin. No movie stars today though.  That would have been a perfect ending to this trip!  

 

   

 

Great group.  Great city.  Great time!
