Naked U-Turns

Having a car seemed like a great idea, until we had to try and find a place to park it in Berlin.  Getting over the Berlin Wall was easier than trying to find a place to park the car.  U-turns, sometimes 6 in a row, have become common.  Ken often asks us to make U-turns as well, which the boys think sounds like “naked U-turns” because of his Australian accent.  It’s possible that being naked during our U-turns would help us get an open parking space.

In spite of parking challenges, we’ve seen a lot in Berlin already.

Checkpoint Charlie (no parking, just a drive-by)

The Reichstag
Profiles in Courage - each slab represents one of the members of the Reichstag who opposed Hitler.
Most were sentenced to concentration camps.
