Re: Gumbo's Pic of the Day, June 29, 2014: Berlin's Fernsehturm
Very nice. My only time visiting Berlin was for the Christmas Markets and I was too focused on mulled wine! I need to go back during the year and actually explore these monuments.

Re: Berlin's Rotes Rathaus: Brick Majesty and Whimsy
This has been one of my favorites too, but I never knew that a traveler could go inside. Thanks for the details on its history. Every time I've passed it, the doors have been closed. I will try to visit it next month after I sit at Zum Nussbaum—Reiner's favorite Berlin spot—and toast to #travel and #history.

This is great. Thanks so much for all the pictures, especially the older ones. One thing I always do when I visit places is imagine what the place was like for people in the past. The history of places I visit is one of the biggest allures for me.

Thanks!... That's true for us as well...we're always asking ourselves "how did it get this way?" "why did they put it here?" "what were they worried about when they did that?" and so forth.
