the miami wall

Last night in the travel writing group, a new student, Kathleen, read a story about being in Salzburg when the Berlin Wall came down. This prompted Martin, the tour guide, to ask us: "Did you know there's a section of the Berlin Wall in Coconut Grove?"

That afternoon he had given a group of foreign tourists a tour of the Grove and he had shown them the old Pan Am buildings ("the first international air terminal in the United States," he noted for our edification) and the nearby fragments of the wall. A German in the group said in astonishment: "You have more of the Berlin Wall than we do."

I'm going to have to add it as part of my tour.

Oddly enough, a similar thing just happened to me in London. While walking down some random back street, I came upon a non-descript office building with 3 sections of the wall sitting in the parking lot by the security officer’s unoccupied booth. There was a little sign pointing the wall out. It was equally strange!

Nice summary, to be honest I wasn’t expecting it to be that good when I first entered your site.
