Berlin is a beautiful city with an extraordinary history. At the risk of absurd understatement, I cannot begin to capture this place in a brief post or two from a one day visit. So I will be back for a few days next week. In addition to this post, I am preparing posts on a bit of world war 2 and on the cold war. Expect to find additions next week. Because of the intense bombing during world war 2, very little remains of the pre-war city.
These pictures are of the Brandenburg Gate at night and by day, the victory monument from the 19th century, the Reichstag and Kufürstendamm, often referred to as Ku-damm. This is a major shopping district.Läs mer
