Tavi's pushups!

Tavi having to do 25 pushups after "betting" Ross Klauer whether he'd finish his meal!

Many sites of east berlin

We initially drove thru w berlin which is very "high end" looking similar to Boston w $1mil hms, then went to the Berlin Wall which was torn down 20 yrs ago. There are so many sites in e berlin, despite much destruction after the end of the Reich and communism.
The "site of grand stages" where Hitler gave many speeches.


Crosses remembering those who died trying to cross the Wall.









The boys ARE CRAZY
May have to double click on this to read, but here is some of the unbelievable history of the Berlin wall! Hard to believe it was only 20 yrs ago that it came down!
In front of the Brandenburg Gate which was the passage from Democratic West Berlin into Communist East Berlin.


The boys in front of the gate literally a couple meters from where the wall once stood!




Church across from the Palace of the Kings and Queens of Prussia. Another of MANY unbelievable sites!






Bullet holes in the brick from the pic above...this is seen in many of the bldgs of E Berlin where fighting was frequent and harsh.











Getting to the site of the Berlin wall.
