  1. Another gorgeous morning in Istanbul. Archaeological museum, Grand Bazaar and a ferry to Asia today with Ellen and Husum.
  2. Correct that to read Cunningham.
  3. The passing of another great artist: Merce Cunnngham - age 90: http://tinyurl.com/kkhfr2
  4. I have a very personal memory of Walter Cronkite that I have posted on my blog: http://tinyurl.com/mut9d2
  5. So now I have Google Voice. Something else to figure out (though I suspect I'll like it). What next?
  6. A new posting on my blog about Europe and resurgent Antisemitism: http://majorgiving.blogspot...
  7. The return home was uneventful. This was a great experience for my entire family--especially seeing Hungary with my mother!
  8. Look forward to home, but leave Saturday for S. Diego and a public radio conference. Hit the ground running to prepare presentations.
  9. Tegel Airport at 5 in the morning is the start of our trip home via Zurich.
  10. Go USA vs. Brazil in the Confederation Cup championship game...fun watching and trying to understand German commentary.
  11. The Holocaust Tower is a dark, multi-storied enclosure that is meant to stimulate individual responses. For me--a prison cell.

  15. Pergamon Museum houses the colossal Greek Pergamon Altar, Roman Market Gate of Myletus, Ishtar Gate built by Nebuchadnezzar.
  16. Bizarre street-performer statues and unexciting buskers at the Brandenberg Gate.
  17. At the Holocaust Memorial visitor center, a room filled with illuminated floor panels with snippets of last words written by victims.
  18. A short distance away a memorial to gays murdered by the Nazis. Police, a crowd, and ambulances there--a ceremony, and an older man falls.
  19. Denkmal fur die ermordeten Juden Europas, designed by Peter Eisenmann, with 2711 undulating stelae, is evocative of Prague's Jewish ceme ...
  20. Checkpoint Charlie, without the wall, is still a moving place. With little but photos documenting the Cold War, it still feels very recent.
