One more thing about Berlin

Oops, forgot something. The East German, communist, government built a giant television tower in Berlin--a monument to their greatness and their expectation that communism would last forever. At the top of the tower is a huge ball--it's kind of like the one atop Reunion Tower in Dallas, but covered in silver metal, not lights. Anyway, as you know, communism is atheism and all religious observance is firmly discouraged. In one of life's great ironies, when the sun strikes that giant metal ball, it forms a cross pattern, towering atop the monument and visible for miles and miles. Pretty funny.....
