One thought on “Arrived in Berlin Yesterday & The Berlin Marathon is Today!”
Learned the German for train station, JIm just looked it up.
Nice review of the history of the divided Germany and Berlin–I forget that the Allies divided the country up. I still have to review the wall part.
And good to see reminders of those killed in the war. We should not forget.
