Berlin Wall and Baby Blanket

Today we went to see a section of the Berlin Wall before heading over to Pariser Platz. There are several notable buildings and structures in the square,one of which is Hotel Adlon where Michael Jackson dangled his son Blanket out of a window.

Next, we walked past the Holocaust Memorial. Sam says that many kids come here to play hide and seek. That sounds insensitive to me but you really can’t tell it is a memorial. Sam told me that she has never seen any plaque with information about it. I linked the Wiki page if you want more information. I think the artist's reasoning behind the design is interesting.

I am so grateful to have a friend here who is kind enough to serve as my own personal tour guide. I love you, Sam!

Three things I am grateful for:
1. Yesterday my luggage was the first bag on the belt at baggage claim.
2. Getting (correct) directions from strangers (I also got some terrible and incorrect directions.)
3. Sam is a wonderful translator and travel guide.
