The Berliner Bear: First stop on a frigid day.
In spite of -13°C, Bradley, Max and the three girls braved a day of sight-seeing.
Old Berlin Wall sections
The Allied Museum,
near the American Consulate that we always visit for birth reporting and getting passports.
A typical sign in Berlin before the wall came down
Relics of the past
Above: A tank
Below: A listening tunnel for spying
Our family has visited these horses many times in the past.
They are right next to the museum and the parking spots we use.
Berlin now has a special zone which you can only drive in, if your car has low exhaust emissions. So, they left our van on the southwest side of town and spent the day walking and using public transportation on a group ticket.
The Kurfürstendamm---Center of Berlin
Subways were the transportation mode of the day.
The Brandenburg Gate
Das Brandenburger Tor
TV tower of the old East with the frequently visible cross reflection
(also visible during the communist era, despite the country's atheism)
The "Dom" (a prominent Lutheran church) in the late afternoon sunlight
Donia near the entrance of the church
Some of church history's renowned men: Calvin, Zwingli, Melanchthon, Luther, etc.
Inside the Pergamon Museum
(This museum is filled with treasures from Antiquity.)
This is a clay tablet that was found near the Ishtar Gate in Babylon. The writing describes the deportation of King Johoichin from Juda. (2. Kings 24:15)
Max, walking where Daniel walked: The walls of Babylon
Potsdamer Platz
Great name!!!!!!
Cute couple!!!!!!
Döners for supper:
A well-loved Turkish sandwich made of veggies and grilled mutton shavings!
Everyone ate and tried to get warm again in the car on the way home.
