More of Berlin

Just a few more pics of Berlin.  I am still just so amazed at how different life is under freedom/capitalism than it was here under communism!

Kiosk in the U Bahn (subway).

Memorial to the Soviet soldiers of World War II.  Used to be in East Berlin.  Still there.

Eating well!  And this was just at a meat market!

Checkpoint Charlie.  Surrounded by shopping now.

Checkpoint Charlie "then."

Where the Wall used to be.

Alexander Platz, the show place of what used to be East Berlin.

The East German-made Trabant cars on a for-fun sightseeing tour.  They sounded just like I remember them--like sewing machines.

A "Trabi" in a store/museum.

Brandenburg Gate from the East.

Same place back then.

A memorial of one of the many killed trying to cross from East Berlin.



Gotta take home a few souvenirs!
