Happy German Unification

I keep an odd set of calendar entries for personal commemorations, this is one of them.

18 years ago the two Germanys became one - which means the current crop of high school grads never knew of East Germany.

Not Afraid and I vacationed one Summer in Berlin in that transition time when the wall had come down, but there was still and East and West. We even had to pass through Checkpoint Charlie in the "American Zone." It was such an odd place and I know in the ensuing years new construction has transformed the place. I'd love to see what it's become.
