Come on now. Been there done that. Checpoint Charlie is such a tourist trap now. We've got a couple of pieces of the wall around here somewhere. At least that's what the souvenir shop said... More likely, it's just some mass produced chunk of concrete with some distressed spray paint on it, but whatever. I choose to believe it's part of the wall. Funny though, for whatever reason, There's a section of the wall installed out here in Southern California not 5 miles from my house. Some sort of Ronald Reagan memorial in the middle of nowhere. I tell my wife that we should go and take a picture of her standing in front of it and send it to my in-laws and say sorry, was in the neighborhood, but couldn't drop by. Maybe next time. Tschüss!!
