Toy trabbis (Affectionate term for the Trabant, a distinctive and much maligned East German car) alongside bits of the demolished Berlin wall, for sale at a Turkish vendor's stall near the Brandenburg Gate, Berlin, May 1991© Linda Dawn Hammond / IndyFoto.com 1991
The amusing thing is that these toy trabbis were made of metal- while the original car was said to contain plastic and notoriously dangerous in an accident. I saw several abandoned ones on this trip in 1991, and was offered a running model for $75.
I didn't buy any of the wall fragments as they were all suspiciously too brightly coloured, as if freshly spray painted. I did purchase 2 toy trabbis though, and also negotiated for the box they came in, which is quite hilarious in terms of sexual innuendo!

On December 10th, 1878, the British cargo ship BAYARD, built in 1878 by Matthew Pearse & Co. Ltd. and owned at the time of her loss by Kay R. J., on voyage from New Orleans to Rouen with a cargo of wheat, foundered in the North Atlantic after her cargo shifted. 22 people lost their lives.
"FOUNDERING OF TYNE STEAMER. -- LOSS OF TWENTY-TWO LIVES. -- FEARFUL SUFFERING OF THE SURVIVORS.
(SPECIAL TELEGRAM) -- The schooner Sam Slick, of Plymouth, landed at that port, on the 16th inst., Edward Simmons, of Liverpool, the carpenter, and Thos. Kelly, of Newcastle the only survivors of the crew of the steam' ship Bayard, Captain J. Everet, belonging to Mr Kay of Newcastle, and which was launched only June last, at Stockton-on-Tees.
The Bayard, which was of 963 tons register, left "New Orleans, on December 3rd, with cargo of wheat for Rouen. Her crew consisted of Captain Everett, Mr. Welsh, chief officer, a second officer, boatswain, carpenter, three engineers, six stokers, eight able-seamen, a cook, and steward, marking a total of twenty-four hands, natives of Newcastle, Sunderland, and London.
All went well with the Bayard until Sunday, Dec, 8, when a gale sprung up, and continued to increase until Tuesday. The seas then swept the deck, and at length the cargo shifted. Waves now broke over her continuously, and about 1 o clock in the afternoon a tremendous sea stove in the engine-room skylight, and filled the engine-room, putting out the fires. The crew were then on the bridge, the heavy seas washing through the forecastle rendering it impossible for them obtain shelter therein.
Two of the four boats on board had been stove in, and as the vessel began to settle down, the crew lowered the others (the lifeboat and quarterboat), in which they had placed provisions. The Bayard sank rapidly. As the crew got into the two boats, the captain took charge of the lifeboat, in which there were the, second officer, carpenter, and the greater part of' the crew, the chief officer taking charge of the quarter boat.
No sooner had the vessel disappeared than a heavy sea struck both the boats and capsized them, throwing the whole of the occupants into the water. The lifeboat rose again, and its occupants managed to right her and get into her, but the quarter boat had sank, and all her crew perished except two, who swam to and succeeded in getting into the lifeboat.
In capsizing, all the provisions were lost, and consequently the survivors found themselves without either food or drink. About three-quarters of an hour after a heavy sea struck and capsized the lifeboat a second time, but she was again righted, and all who had been on board once more got into her.
The weather was bitterly cold, and the two immersions which the men had undergone made them exceedingly uncomfortable. The night that succeeded was a terrible one. The hapless men had to cling to the boat to prevent themselves from being washed out; but cold and exposure told on them, till one by one they relaxed their hold and were swept away and drowned, or were devoured by the sharks that swarmed around the boats.
Thus perished fourteen of the sixteen on board, including Captain Everett and all the officers, only Simmons and Kelly remained.
The day that followed and those that succeeded were days of frightful suffering. There was nothing to satisfy their hunger; and in the hope of allaying their thirst they kept their clothes soaked with salt water, and at night lay on their backs with open mouths, that the falling dew might moisten their parched tongues and lips.
Thus day after day passed, and for the greater part of the time an enormous shark kept in close company to the drifting boat.
About mid-day on the 17th (a week after the foundering the Bayard), they were picked up by the Spanish brigantine Carnation, which was bound with cargo of pitch pine from Santo Maria to Ferrol, in Spain.
They were then in a very week condition, and it was doubtful whether they could have survived another twenty-four hours, but Simmons believed that he could have lived another three or four days.
They were treated with great kindness on board the Carnation, and on being landed at Ferrol the English Consul placed them board the Sam Slick, which conveyed them to Plymouth. They were sent to their respective homes on the 15th instant."

Affectionately known as "Uncle Bud" by all his nieces, nephews, as well as great nieces and great nephews...he was an old bachelor when he died. He worked closely with and helped his brother John all his life with keeping up their mercantile store business and farming their land. My grandfather remembers his bright silver pocketwatch fob because he would dangle it in front of the children, and it was always in his waistcoat or trouser pocket. As you can see, he was a handsome man, with pale blue/grey eyes and fair hair. He and his brother were known as being very handsome and well-educated by many of the local young ladies in both Coweta and Meriwether counties. Whereas john had married fairly soon, Bud did not. He contracted TB as a young man while in his prime, and did not fully recover from it for many years afterwards. He had planned to ask a certain young lady to marry, but his illness and long recovery got in the way of those plans, so she married another man. He remained a bachelor, and lived out his life...though when he was well again his sister in law Lucy and others tried to matchmake between himself and my great grandfathers' sister Gussie Strickland (a schoolteacher and spinster) nothing came of it though. He was quite a character, and loved by all his family.
St Botolph's - affectionately known as the 'Stump' - is the largest building in England that has always been a parish church.
The building of the present church is believed to have begun in 1309, replacing a Norman church, but Christianity in Boston goes back to the 7th century when an Anglo-Saxon missionary monk named Botulph or Botolph is believed to have preached there, and founded a church.
One possible explanation for the town's name is that the place was called Botolph's Stone, later shortened to Boston. Medieval Latin documents show that Bostonians were known as 'viri Sancti Botolphi', St Botolph's men'.
The church, except the tower, was probably completed by about 1390. Early in the 15th century the eastwardly leaning pillars may have necessitated the reroofing of the church; at the same time the aisles were 'modernised'. The chancel was lengthened and repairs were carried out to the nave. The building of the tower was probably started early in the 15th century and took 70 yrs to complete. No one really knows why it is called the 'Stump', although it does resemble a tree with its boughs lopped ready for felling.

"All was so promising, and bright,
we thought not of approaching night;
but soon our prospects clouded o'er,
and now to us he is no more;
Yest let us chase our tears away,
and view him in celestial day."

Zoo Berlin, GER -
Affectionately known as the Zoo on the south-west corner of the Tiergarten, this is Berlin’s favourite family spot - a wonderfully kept urban Zoo with a huge playground, restaurants, and coffee shops, providing a whole day’s worth of family entertainment. A site Berliners are justly proud of, this large and very well-kept Zoo is home to 13,700 animals and 1,400 species. The Berlin Zoo and its animals are part of local life and most Berliners will be aware of the news of a new arrival.
Rare among city zoos, the Zoologischer Garten was founded in 1844 on the initiative of zoologists Alexander von Humboldt and Martin Lichtenstein and was the first Zoo to be built in Germany. Under Friedrich Wilhelm IV it became a joint project by Martin Lichtenstein and Peter Joseph Lennè who had redesigned the Tiergarten and allocated the southwestern tip of the Tiergarten as a zoological garden. Prior to this a Pheasantry had served the royal kitchen from 1742. The royal family’s private zoo had been on the Pfaueninsel (Pheasant Island) where pheasants can still be seen strutting around.
Numerous architects worked on the design of the urban habitats for the specific animal. The Antelope House dates back to 1872 and the Elephant House to 1873. The Hippopotamus House (1997) is an example of more modern concepts applied for the well-being of the animals. Under a 13,000 square feet glass solar panel roof the hippopotamuses can be viewed beneath the water and the animals are no longer simply on display.
The Kreuzherren-Eck, affectionately known as the "House of a Hundred Schnapps," is a legendary pub nestled on Ratinger Straße in Düsseldorf's vibrant Old Town. Since its establishment in 1954, it has served as the city's oldest schnapps bar, a true institution that has witnessed decades of the city's history and cultural shifts. It's a place where time seems to stand still, offering a delightfully unpretentious and authentic atmosphere. The interior, with its rustic charm and well-worn character, feels like a warm embrace, inviting a diverse crowd of art academy students, lawyers, musicians, and night owls to mingle and share stories.
What truly sets Kreuzherren-Eck apart is its remarkable selection of high-proof spirits, particularly its famous house-infused schnapps. Beyond the usual offerings, patrons can venture into adventurous territory with unique concoctions like garlic, ginger, and black pepper schnapps. For the truly daring, the "Peperoni Schnapps," infused with chili, is a rite of passage – rumored to turn brave connoisseurs into fire-breathing monsters. This commitment to unique, potent drinks, combined with its no-frills approach, has solidified its reputation as a must-visit for those seeking a genuine Düsseldorf pub experience.
However, despite its storied history and beloved status, the Kreuzherren-Eck is facing an uncertain future that threatens its continued existence. The pub is currently grappling with a significant problem that is about to lead to its closure. While specific details can be elusive, reports indicate that the primary issue stems from an ongoing dispute with the landlord over rent or lease terms. The current operating model and the financial demands imposed by the property owner have become unsustainable for the pub's long-standing business.
This looming closure has sparked considerable concern and sadness among its loyal patrons and the wider Düsseldorf community. The Kreuzherren-Eck is more than just a place to drink; it's a cultural landmark, a meeting point, and a keeper of tradition in a city that constantly evolves. The potential loss of such an iconic establishment highlights the challenges faced by many independent, historic venues in urban centers, often caught between rising property costs and the desire to maintain their unique character and affordability. Efforts to find a solution or a new location may be underway, but as of now, the future of this beloved schnapps bar remains precarious.

Looking east from the nave
Burchell's zebras are social animals that live in small family groups consisting of a stallion, several females, and their young. These groups may combine with others to form large herds, but family members will remain close within the herd. As they must be constantly wary of predators, a herd is constantly on the lookout for danger.
