Trip to Germany and Hungary--August 2008

The end of August I went to a linguistics convention in Essen, Germany to talk about Filipino English. While there I made a side trip to Budapest, Hungary to check on Arpad, our ancestor, went to church in Dusseldorf, and stood in the field where the Berlin Wall stood when we chipped away 40 pounds of the wall to carry home in 1990. I did find one stretch of the wall that is still standing. I'll let you match my comments with the pictures below.
