Welches ist dein Lieblingsfoto?  Which of the above photos is your favorite? 

Deutsche Welle published the photo below to accompany an article about the weekend celebration in Berlin.  The tourist board reported that there were over a million participants.  Some of the day's highlights were:
  • The opening of a new museum chronicling the lives of some of those caught up in fleeing this wall, including a two-and-a-half hour visit by Chancellor, Angela Merkel.
  • Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" (which has become the European Union's anthem)
  • The release of those 7000 white helium-filled balloons which lined much of the old wall. 
  •  Fireworks and Light Show
