"Tear down that wall"

filed under: Germany

I finally saw what´s left of the Berlin Wall today. Wow! It was really amazing to me how much of it was left intact. There´s this really long (or at least I thought it was long) section near the Warshauerstr. U-bahn. I took at 20-30 pics of it today and hopefully (this sounds familiar, doesn´t it?) I´ll be able to put some up here for you to see eventually.

In a few hours I´m going to a "trampen" (german for "hitchhiking") meetup in a few hours. My hosts here in Berlin and most of the people I´ve met through them are big into hitching and there seems to be people from Russian and elsewhere coming by to discuss...I don´t really know what. We´ll just have to see!

I was going to hitch to Hamburg tomorrow but I forgot that it was Sunday AND Mother´s Day (happy mother´s day, Mom!!) and the chances of me getting a ride are significantly lower (or so I hear). So Monday I´ll head there and see if they have any good hamburgers. :)

I am sooo rolling my eyes. I can't believe you forgot mother's day. (ok actually i can believe it)

I hope you enjoyed Berlin. It still is my second city. If I ever had the opportunity to retire to Europe that's where I'd go.
