  We visited the East Side Gallery on our last day in Berlin en route to the airport. We stopped at the train station and check our bags and set out to explore the wonderful outdoor gallery. The gallery was started shortly after the fall of the Wall in December, 1989. As we were there we passed a large group of school children that were there studying the art work, many of them with sketchbooks. As someone who grew up in the Cold War era, it was a very powerful experience to vist and touch this symbol of the former East German power.
