When we left the Zoo some people from Holland asked Glen to help them push start their Skoda from the Czech Republic. Proof again how international Berlin is!
We got to go in the Gedächtnis Kirche memorial church on the Kurfurstendamm.
Next to the Brandenburg Gate they are currently finishing work on the New (Old) American Embassy It used to be there before the soviets took that section of Berlin over after WWII. The Americans didn't want to build it there when the capital moved back to Berlin in the 1990's but they worked a deal to reroute traffic so that cars don't go directly pass it. There will also be no front door to the new Embassy people will enter through a fortified tunnel on another street.
These pictures show us on our last full day in Berlin. At the new Holocaust Memorial we reflected. We saw the Brandenburger Tor "Brandenburg Gate" And the girls posed in front of it under the Pariser Platz sign. We also had an excellent breakfast in Holger's neighborhood at a Russian Jewish restaurant. In the subway U-bahn Julie took a picture of how even in public they separate all their garbage.
