Day of German unity

A wee history post today because it was a special day yesterday (would have posted it yesterday but the internet was down.)
Yesterday we had a national holiday here in Germany. We celebrated the day of German Unity, which reminds us of the reunification of East and West Germany in 1990. Contrary to popular believe it is not the same day that the Berlin Wall came down, that was November 9, 1989.

Weird to think that today most people in Germany seem to be happier about the day off they get than that Germany is actually one country again....
