Today, we visited the Berlin Wall, which separated East and West Berlin after WWII. It got taken down in 1989. This section of the wall has been saved is now called the East Side Gallary, which explains all the murals and the graffiti. In this picture, I am standing on both East and West Berlin. This would have been impossible before 1989. (It would have also been considered illegal.) But since it is 26 years later, and the two Germanies are unified, I am not going to get arrested.
In the background of the third picture, you can see a bridge called Oberbaumbrücke. It is considered a sign of unity, since it connects East and West Berlin. For dinner tonight, we had ham steaks, boiled potatoes, and sour kraut (a very traditional German meal).
That's like... standing in between Boston and Cambridge at the Science museum... but cooler... like 53.2223 times cooler
