long time huh!?!!? Many things have happened in the last few weeks including......we lost the first 2 matches!!! and I chipped (broke) a little bone on my elbow!!!
Anyway, this weekend we played in Berlin which was great because i really wanted to go there. We left Wiesbaden thursday and on friday mourning we took a quick tour of the ciy center. First we walked by this beautiful government building ( i forgot the name) but check the picture maybe you guys can help me!
We then walked around this building, and surprise!!! There was the Berlin Wall! I mean at least whatever was left of it (the bricks in the middle of the street simbolizes where the wall used to be). The black car on the right of the bricks is on the East side of Germany (or Communist Germany) and the white car in on the West side. So, when this picture was taken we were stading on East Germany. This was amazing experience!! I had goose pumps when i saw this site because i remember when I was 7 years old, watching the fall of the wall in Brazil on TV and actually being there where it happened was an amazing feeling!!!!
We then finally crossed the wall (or should i say the bricks!?!) and we could see the famous Brandenburg Gate.
One of Berlin's most famous sights, the Brandenburg Gate is located on the western edge of Pariser Platz just inside the former East Berlin. Rising up from behind the Berlin Wall , it was a potent symbol of Berlin's division. From the construction of the Wall in 1961 up until 1989 the Brandenburg Gate was inaccessible to the general public.
Like I said this was a quick tour of Berlin I promess to have more pictures next time!!
After this amazing experience we went on to lose our match later that day but I was really happy and excited for all the important places that we got to go and see!!
