Walking History

Marty has been talking to his parents and getting a list of places here in Berlin that meant something to them when they lived here.  His list is growing and it is our plan to try to visit each of them.

This is the actual steet/path that his
dad lived on back in the late 1950's

On Thursday we headed out to try to find the area where his dad lived while going to the Technical University in Berlin.  He had told us that the building had been torn down years ago in order to make room for an underground train station or line so we knew we wouldn't see the building but just wanted to walk around the area.  It just so happens that it was right next to or to the side of the largest park in Berlin, Tiergarten.  It is a whopping 520 acres.  This park is enormous and we don't get to it often because it is quite far from our house.

We walked through beautiful old growth forest and paths and small creeks.  It was gorgeous.  In the end we couldn't really find the place but we had to have been close.  We made it to the University and unfortunately ran out of time to explore any further.  Benjamin gets out of school at 1PM which puts a quick end to most of our mid morning/early afternoon exploring.   We have a long list of other places to visit.  Week by week here we hope to hit them all.
