Checkpoint Charlie

We’ve arrived in Berlin, our final stop.  After returning the rental car, we walked two blocks to see Checkpoint Charlie.  Checkpoint Charlie was the border crossing between East and West Berlin during the Cold War before the Berlin Wall came down in 1944.  The checkpoint has been dismantled and what remains is more of a recreation.  At the site, there were numerous wall panels that described the history of the Berlin Wall and Checkpoint Charlie.  This year is the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.  There's so much to do and see in Berlin, it will be difficult to see all that we want in the short time we're here, but we'll have fun trying.
