Berlin Street Art and Other Goodies

I have always wanted to see the Berlin Wall. I remember so clearly when it came down, just months after we moved away from Europe in 1989.  

This sliver of it was on display just outside of our hotel.  

 CP and I used pedi-cabs as our preferred mode of transportation the day before the race.
 The markets of Berlin were all that.

 I ate more than one German sausage in Berlin...

 The street art scene was pretty rad...






Sloperstein were all over - reminding us of lives lost in the Concentration Camps of  WWII...


 A selfie with the Brandenburg Gate is a Berlin must...obviously
 This guy was our pedi cab driver, he was also an amazing tour guide.  En route to our hotel, he stopped at every single attraction and offered up a history lesson.




 We worked a quick shift at Checkpoint Charlie
Another view of the wall...

 Berlin's pedestrian traffic lights, called Ampelmannchen,  are an attraction in and of themselves...
ASR missed the day of site seeing, but arrived just in time to carbo load the night before the race
