(There was only a wall for so long, he said, the rest was a line or a fence, so they would walk side by side). I'm not sure if he was there and saw the wall come down, but he did bring home pieces of it. Unless that was illegal, in which case, I am lying.

Did you ever get to see the film Good Bye, Lenin! - it is really enlightening: reminded me of work visit I'd made to Prague and Brno in about 1974 ... I've regretted things, but we always learn don't we ... take care - cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2347493753441352036.post-55847685861902064512019-11-12T21:10:11.262-05:002019-11-12T21:10:11.262-05:00@Kelly: I know, I know, but the thoughts of a 12-h...@Kelly: I know, I know, but the thoughts of a 12-hour drive was too much for my lazy, 20-year-old arse to deal with. #SoSad :)<br />Mark Koopmanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03634424953074803816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2347493753441352036.post-18239378663158151622019-11-12T21:03:27.377-05:002019-11-12T21:03:27.377-05:00Dude,you should've went.
