September 26, 2011 Berlin, Germany Wall and Check Point Charlie

Kimberly was having a day of rest after the race so we just went on our own today.  Checked out the Berlin Wall Area and Check Point Charlie. 

Sorry, but I was a little distracted today as my favorite jacket dropped off of my purse (when I got too hot to wear it) and it had my Paris scarf in the pocket.  I retraced my tracks but was not able to find it. 

This was a very interesting place and I wish I had more to contribute to the memories.
