Farewell to Berlin

So you thought that we were never going to post again, and so did we. But we're up and running again in the US, so we thought we'd finish our story. After Christmas we said goodbye to Berlin as best we knew how. Mostly we ate. Here we are at our favorite Doener shop, eating our Doener Kebaps and drinking Uludag.
We took one last ride at Breischeidplatz, to empathize with the airplane pilots and [evidently] get out some aggression.
Will worshipped at the altar of technology (it's an airplane engine) at Templehof airport.
The hunger rake, or the sculpture that commemorated the Berlin Airlift. Planes landed every minute or two at Templehof airport to give the people of West Berlin food to eat while they were under siege from the Soviet Union. Good Cold War sightseeing which we did to get some photos for Rob's sister Betsy, who has her students perform plays about WWII and the aftermath.
We packed up. I told Rob he hadn't done much packing. He said "You're right. If I'd done these, they'd be packed much better than this!" But it got done, and we managed to get a lot of stuff into ten bags and five carry-ons.
Mmmmm-hmmm, how we love the Doener!
