Prehistoric hottie. (Well, okay, not pre -historic...)

An unintended benefit of having inadvertently booked a hotel in the remote suburbs of Berlin was that it was only a few blocks from the Spandau Zitadelle.

Inside the kuppel atop the Reichstag. When I first saw the concept drawings for the new cupola over the plenary hall, I cringed. It's still not as attractive as the original dome was, but it's nonetheless impressive.

The memorial in the Neue Wache, near Museuminsel

With the quadriga facing the right way. When this was taken in 1995, the gate and the area around it had just been cleared and restored -- but as an open plaza with the gate in the middle. Imagine my surprise (not knowing any better) to see it again in 2002 with buildings build up all around it, including the rebuilt Hotel Adlon.

Inside the Berlin cathedral on Museum Island, a stone's throw from the Ballast of the Republik, the Rotes Rathaus, and the Alexanderplatz television tower.

Four of the other ten interns from Michigan Tech working in Germany that summer, in the Koenigsplatz in front of the Reichstag: from right, Ed, Mary, Alex, and a girl whose name I have completely forgotten. This was no more than a week after Christo wrapped the place, and before reconstruction started to turn the building back into the seat of the (reunified) German Bundestag. See here for a picture of the inside of the new kuppel , which doesn't exist yet in this photo.

A remaining portion of the Berlin Wall, with the famous protest murals painted on it.

Kaiser Wilhelm Gedaechtniskirche, Berlin. It was actually quite well-preserved inside. It's a pity they didn't rebuild it after the war (it's more an eyesore than a memorial in its current state). One of the other Tech interns, Ed, is in the lower right.
