The Berlin Wall

These are my two little pieces of the Berlin Wall, picked up by parents when visiting Berlin in either 1991 or 1992.  They were visiting friends living in Berlin at the time.  They went to an area away from the tourist areas where you could still find bits of destroyed wall. When the wall came down, it was so thrilling to watch it happen and think about the possibilities.  We weren't 6 months back in Canada from living in France where we had been part of the celebrations of the French Revolution Bicentennial and Gorbymania had been gripping Europe.
