Brandenburg Gate behind a balloon where the wall once stood.

So this weekend was the 25th Anniversary of the fall of the wall.  8,000 white helium balloons were erected where the wall once stood across the city.  Yesterday I went to the gate the check it out and they were setting up stage for the big event today.  So apparently they were expecting around a million people to show up for the event today.  I'm sure you'll read about it in the news somewhere.  Its kind of a big deal.

After all the festivities, they released the balloons one by one into the sky.  I am fortunate to live right by the East Side Gallery where the balloons were so I went to check it out.  To be honest, I was so lazy today (like every day) that I was contemplating just staying in, but I'm glad I went.  Now I can say I was there, and I witnessed it..

Brandenburg Gate.
These creepy red things again w/ the balloons in the background!
