Wednesday was our day to see Berlin. Our first stop was The Wall. When The Wall got torn down in 1989, a kilometer of it was left standing as a monument. We walked along this endless slab of flat grey concrete about 10 feet high and a foot thick with several layers of graffiti from the past 40 years. Near the end we came upon a few hundred meters of wall that was recently rebuilt as a "canvas" for dozens of murals expressing the joy of liberation in many different ways.

 A hole punched into the Berlin Wall was patched by this steel barrier.
