In August of 1976 my high school graduation gift was a trip to Europe. Now, that's not as extravagant as it sounds as I was born in Germany and had family there. One of the most memorable places I visited was Berlin, East and West. On this the anniversary of the coming down of the Berlin Wall, I thought I'd post a few pics from my trip there 33 years ago... The trip were I was yelled at, had a gun pointed at me, had 10 Marks "stolen" from me by the East German Currency Exchange lady and was warned to "hold your tongue." But hey, other than that... it was a great time! (I really wouldn't have missed it for the world and now, that chance to experience Berlin as it was, is gone.)

Ahem, I've graduated twice now and have not yet received a trip to Germany in return! Maybe third time's a charm?
