East Side Gallery - alone

I had a not so proud moment of being frustrated with my family for not wanting to go outside when it was sunny. I should have waited on my family, but didn't. I have heard Berlin in very cloudy in the fall/winter, so like to take advantage of the sun when I can.  I went to explore the East Side Gallery. It is an open air gallery on 1316 meters of the Berlin Wall. 














































This is the West side of the wall.





Thought this was interesting, as the artist below is from Denver 




















Here is the edge of the wall, right side is East and left is West













Some church along the way






It is fun to me how in the middle of the city there is a beautiful park. This is Volkspark Friedrichshain. They have a fountain that is surrounded by sculptures from German fairy tales, Marchenbrunnen. It is largest public fountain from the imperial era.











The Neue Synagoge Berlin - Centrum Judaicum






Enjoying the sun, enjoyed the time, but missed experiencing it all with my family. I think they preferred staying home anyhow. I much prefer not being a snot to having to apologize, you would think I would have learned this by now......
