07/24: Obama in Berlin

I did send messages out to the few folks I met here from Berlin encouraging them to go, I was delighted to see that my old roommate Ralf made it.

If you haven't seen the speech, it was amazing and here it is:


The following photos were taken by Ralf. Here is him in the glasses with his girlfriend Christina on the right and some of his friends.

Here's a shot looking forward:

Crazy. Estimates had it at 200,000 people. Pretty damn impressive.
