Berlin, Germany

Wes and I have been doing a little bit of traveling since he has been back and I'm finally going to share some pictures with you. It is crazy to think that Wes has already been home for a month and a half, time is flying ! We are enjoying this time together so much and are trying to savor this last Winter here in Germany as well. We went to Berlin in November for a weekend and really enjoyed the history there. Enjoy the pictures.
This is the Berlin Trail - the brick trail that
marks where the wall used to stand.
This Subway entrance was one of those that were blocked off while the wall was up. Any possible way that the East could enter the West was blocked.
