I can type a whole story about some strange weather that day and no mobilephone connection around this lost Russian (sorry...Soviet) millitary base, but I keep it short:
Most interesting place I've ever visited in and around Berlin/Brandenburg!!!
Totally lost it...
Before I forget to mention it: next to a millitary base, it was also a complete Soviet village and (most of all) a top secret nuclear missile storage facility and launching site.
Maybe that's the reason my GPS went completely bezerk that day...

KEEP IN MIND:
- Bring some food/drinks with you, there's no späti nearby
- It's easier to bike to and around the base
- This former Soviet ground is HUGE!

Funny thing about these shoes...I initially thought I'd just use them for when I went out, running errands, etc. Then I went to New Orleans last year and we were painting a fence for the mission project we were on, and one of the girls in our groups was literally throwing paint all over the place as a joke and, as you can see, some of it still remains on my shoes. Ironically we were told it was a water based primer and it would come out as soon as we got back to the hotel, but no dice.
Oh well, I've actually come to like seeing it there because it reminds me of that day we were helping out the community!

Cubans are base-ball fans. At this date, the national championship was taking place and the last match opposed Industriales de La Habana to the Santiago de Cuba team. While los habaneros showed all their support to their local team, they were beaten by Santiago de Cuba's team. This car sports a sticker "Insdustriales Campeon" (Industriales Champion).
