Here is THE crowning achievement of the DDR - the East Berlin TV tower! (even if they did smuggle Swedish engineers in to make it work LOL!) Located on Alexanderplatz in the center of Berlin, the TV tower was completed in 1969 and is 1198 feet tall!
I also have been meaning for THREE YEARS to go up the tower, but would you believe it, never got around to it...hmph!
Enter, my friends, Rachel and Alyssa and their invitation to go up the tower = Aaron finally did it! Woot-woot!
Danke, Rachel and Alyssa!
Ok, starting in the background...the 'red circle' is the Funkturm - that is where I live - WAY out West! Then there is the 'purple circle' off to the left and that is Potsdamer Platz. Then there is the 'green circle' in the middle, and that is the Brandenburg Gate. To the right, you see the 'blue..boomerang' and that is the Reichstag. Close towards you is a 'purple M' and that is for Museum Island. And then the 'blue C' is Berlin Cathedral. What a sight! What a sight!
So this might be some foreshadowing...'exit', 'sortie'....in other words, I might be doing all of these things that I meant to do for 3 years...because....I might...be leaving Berlin....but shh, don't tell anyone! ;)
