Berlin Bound: A Final Glimpse of the Ishtar Gate Before Renovations
You know those trips when you head to a city for one thing, and one thing only? Yeah, this was that type of trip. I’m sure Berlin is a wonderful city, but William and I only had eyes for the Pergamon Museum which closed after our visit to do renovations for 14 years. Darling told us…

While the military allocated William and me 600 pounds of furniture (which is very little, let me assure you**), we could…
