Berlin Wall Memorial

On the first day in Berlin, I rented a bicycle to see the city.  It was also part of the recommended list I received from Simon.  

It is a bit outside the city, but well worth the trip.  It is over a path of the wall on the north side of the city.  It has a number of stops with recordings and descriptions of various aspects of life near the wall.  I had not realized how it developed over time as opposed to an insta-great thing in history.  It evolved just like anything else.  I cannot believe how they thought they could just split families like they did.  






They have built a look-out to see a simulation of what the wall looked like before it was taken down.
