Will make my way over, this weekend ; )<br /><br />hh: Thanks.<br /><br />cg: It was scary for me, and I was with 3 other germans ; )<br /><br />wings: It was an interesting time, and realized that all we'd been told about the usa being the best, after what I saw being done there, simply wasn't/isn't true ; (<br /><br />brian: Hey, Thanks.<br /><br />kimy: It changed after the wall came down already, and have a few photos to show it. Would rather go to Greece, Italy or France or anywhere in Europe I've never been. I've seen enough of germany.<br /><br />willow: Amazing what that symbol held for so many. Poland must have been pretty interesting then too.<br /><br />ve: Isn't there talk of a fence on the border of the usa still? Seems that people will forever want to cut out those different than themselves ; (<br /><br />am: It was an amazing event, to be sure.<br /><br />betsy: It's a favorite for that reason ; )<br /><br />e: Sad to say, it was and even more so, that many were still related, but due to the wall, they still acted as if they were from a foreign land, very strange.<br /><br />merle: Sometimes I continue to wonder just how free we really are ?????<br /><br />liza: Thanks.Coffee Messiahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16908162048706236634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33534796.post-25089300160720938052009-10-22T18:44:16.891-07:002009-10-22T18:44:16.891-07:00Amazing quote(s).

My girlfriend and I opted not to see Berlin as we were unwilling to go through Checkpoint Charlie on the off chance we wouldn't return. They did let Americans through on a limited basis and I had friends living over there who had gone. But, too scary for two young girls.California Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12582691517303132274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33534796.post-45609506186336524602009-10-22T03:21:28.817-07:002009-10-22T03:21:28.817-07:00Interesting hit. -JayneInteresting hit. -JayneHarnett-Hargrovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07486168670308150669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33534796.post-80051864762884484642009-10-22T00:48:34.433-07:002009-10-22T00:48:34.433-07:00I'll have to check out Eric Hoffer.
