Thank you for the info...
Herr, er, ummm... Sir tour guide... Of course I was not exactly welcome given the situation that I was in. My Grandfather on my mother's side was from Potsdam and my grandfather and grandmother on my father's side were from Dresden. I couldn't get to Potsdam or Dresden in the old configuration but have been planning a trip back. It's been put on hold for a few more years as a result of my talliwacker (wife is 5 months pregnant with our second child).
I really miss Deutschland and, although I'm American born and raised, I still feel a strong kinship with the Fatherland as a result of my heritage. In any event, I would like to get back to Berlin to give it another try. It is a unique city and one of the world's hidden treasures. I spent most of my 3 years of duty in Frankenland and Bavaria, which are some of the world's better known treasures. I still have a few friends that I keep in touch with and they keep me abreast of what's up in Wurzurg and Frankfurt. I'm waxing nostalgic now with nothing to say, so I appreciate your indulgence to this point.
Do you get back home much?
