Actually he was just part of the Military Alphabet, A=Alpha, B=Bravo, C=Charlie, D=Delta, etc. Checkpoint Alpha was on Helmstedterstrasse and Checkpoing Bravo was at Dreilinden. Checkpoint Charlie was located on Friedrichstrasse (just north of Kochstrasse), at the entrance to the Soviet sector.

The Church in Aachen provides tours only in German and you can only have access to these treasures by taking the tour.

Answer: Amsterdam

The Night Watch is a huge painting, and if it appears a bit unbalanced when you look at it, there is reason for this. When it was moved to the town hall (in Dam Square) in 1715, it was too big to fit on the wall. So in their somewhat less than infinite wisdom, the city fathers had the painting trimmed on all four sides to fit on the wall, with the largest piece being cut from the left side.

The pieces were not saved.

9. The Rietberg Museum in Switzerland features southeast Asian art, African art and pre-Columbian art from the Americas. The museum is located in the Wesendonck Mansion in

Answer: Z�rich

The mansion dates from 1857 and was built by Otto Wesendonck, a successful silk merchant, who, with his wife Mathilda, were at the social center of Z�rich in their time.

Answer: Paris

Tennis was part of the lifestyle of the royal and famous of 18th century France. Such extravagances were abolished at the onset of the French Revolution, which was first proclaimed on June 20th, 1789, at the tennis court at Versailles and was known as the "Tennis Court Oath".

The tennis court that is now the Jeu de Paume museum is often incorrectly associated with the "Oath". Also, while dining at one of many cafes in Paris, you may decide to visit the Jeu de Paume. If you ask directions of the waiter, be careful how you ask, or you may wind up with a glass of apple juice (jus de pomme, pronounced virtually identically!) Bon Voyage!
