Pergamon Museum

 This market entrance was re-created inside of the museum.  I have never seen anything like it.  INSIDE of the museum!
 Also in the museum this 'small' entrance to Nebuchadnezzar's II city.  That would be the son of Nebuchadnezzar who sacked Jerusalem after Lehi fled the city.  Yeah, this is a Babylonian Gate. 
 We were thoroughly touristic with our headsets.
 Outside of a different museum, not nearly as impressive...so we had to be.
 East Gallery.  The longest standing section of the wall.  Like this section with the dates the wall stood: 1961 (Tom arrived in Germany as a boy) until 1989 (we arrived in Belgium)
We have rented the bikes for the week.  Steve says his bum hurts.

Wait, the museum exterior wasn't impressive? Wow. That's one of those "you know you've lived in Europe too long when..." things. Put that museum in America & people would go bonkers with their cameras.
