These pictures are from our time in the beautiful city of Berlin. A city that reminds us all that hope is always possible even in the face of many years of turmoil.
The Dunn/Thomas family in front of the capital building. So cool!
Checkpoint Charlie. At least to me, the area still carries a sense of hesitation and foreboding. A lot of tense moments happened in this very spot over the years.
Mom and Dad standing in front of a large section of the Berlin Wall.
At the Checkpoint Charlie monument you see a young American soldier staring at you entering the American side and on the opposite side there is a young Russian soldier. A reminder of who it was that manned this post and put their lives in the hands of their leaders.
Here we have Jared listening to our audio tour of the ancient artifacts museum. I can't remember the name, which is shameful, but I remember the impact it had on me. In this picture Jared is standing in front of the gates of Babylon. Can you imagine how many people marched through these gates? Dignitaries, Soldiers, Farmers. Wow!
Athena and I. I just sat and marveled at these amazing accomplishments of ancient times. In many ways, I think, what they did then is more marvelous then what we do now with all of our advances.
I am trying to make my fish face next to the statue of Poseidon. Slightly undignified I know.
Berlin was a memorable day!
