  2. I am in limbo outside a website. Cloudfare's tool says:

    "Verify you are human by completing the action below. This may take a few seconds"

    But after 2 minutes, the wee wheely thing is still spinning.

    It's like a hostile frontier where stern face behind the glass disappears with your papers, and you wait. And wait.

    I had that in Israel, at #Newry, at Duluth, at #CheckpointCharlie. Electric gates locked, my fate unknown. Barbed wire. Guns.

    But in 2026, the checkpoint is at a pal's website. 😞

  4. I’m in #Berlin. I am very impressed with how this country pulled itself together after its tragic history, not to mention how welcoming and hospitable its people are to visitors like us. “East Berlin” is beautiful with modern architecture. I’m sharing some of my #photos. Note: I don’t know which ones are East or West. #artwalk #uberarena #topographyofterror #checkpointcharlie #flipboard #flipboardusergroup #germany #travel #traveltip #photography

    Absolutely. With hindsight, the 80s was a very strange and quite terrifying time to be growing up. The #IronCurtain splitting Europe in two, frequent footage of #CheckpointCharlie and nuclear missile launchers on tv news. On the outside of the local municipal swimming pool(!), a sign showing #fallout circles rippling out from #Faslane, to remind you just how dead you would be if/when it was targeted. ☢️

    On the other hand, we got #99LuftBallons… 🥰

  6. The correct answer is the #GlienickeBridge. (aka #Bridge of #Spies)

    Whilst #GaryPowers and #RudolphAbel were probably better known to the public, #FredericPryor, who had been previously arrested in #EastBerlin, also formed part of the overall swap.

    Pryor was released at #CheckpointCharlie in #Berlin, which, once confirmed, allowed the Powers/Abel swap to proceed.

    The #BornholmerStraße #border crossing was one of the first points to be breached when the #BerlinWall fell in November, 1989.
