Twenty Years On

The pictures and stories from Berlin have been very moving. Twenty years ago I watched the wall opening on TV and decided to spend New Year in Berlin. It was a fantastic experience, as the New Year's Eve party moved from West to East and back again. Over the next few weeks I will paste up some of the pictures from that time, starting today.
