The “fall” of the Berlin Wall was the happy culmination of détente and was celebrated world-wide. Last week, I also celebrated the 25th anniversary of the that fateful day. Thanks for your beautifully written tribute, Deborah.

It was fascinating to see how the different artists interpreted the idea of freedom. I feel honored to have had a chance to see it.

Thanks for reminding us of hope after totalitarianism. It helps.

I remember when the news reported the wall coming down. I could not believe it. However, it was and is true. Anything can happen and we need to know that!

Thanks, again.

Nice story and wonderful pictures. Thanks for writing about this. What an adventure!

Is was such a wonderful feeling to actually get to touch the Wall. So much history in Berlin, and I’m glad I got to see all of it. Would have been great to see all the lighted balloons, but nothing can take away the memories of seeing and touching the Wall.
Pictures are wonderful, as always
