My husband received orders for Berlin right after we were married. We spent three years there and I was always told, while I was there, that when you leave, you always take home a souvenir. It was either a cuckoo clock or a baby. I must have taken too long to buy the clock because I brought home a baby boy! LOL

We were there when the country was still divided and were very fortunate to still be there when the wall finally came down! It was an awesome experience and changed my whole outlook on how great our country really is!
