Took a two-hour tour of Berlin before beginning our reformation sessions. Really profound to see where the wall used to divide East and West. There are markers throughout the city showing where the wall once stood. Straddling where the wall once stood sort of felt like straddling the equator in Ecuador a few years ago.
Also saw some significant sights like the Brandenburg Gate and Checkpoint Charlie.

Wow! They sure have changed. I visited Berlin in 1977 and saw the oppression of the East Berliners. Checkpoint Charlie was such an eye opener for a 14 year old. Seeing the oppression first hand gave me a better love and respect for America. I some day want to go back to Berlin to see it now that they have freedom and rewalk where I was 31 years ago.
any idea why the h in checkpoint is upside down?
