I waited across Germany from Dusseldorf to Berlin, through train stations, Turkish baklava shops, and angry Spanish strangers who let me borrow their phone even though they didn’t want me to. I waited … Continue reading
Day 2, 3 & 4: Dusseldorf is hot.
Well, I am being surprised and confronted, enamored and overwhelmed, peaceful and anxious. It has been &^%$#@! hot here, 37 C/99 F only cooling a few degrees at night with NO wind. This combined with the sun coming up at the butt crack of dawn and setting at 10:30pm it’s hard to remember when to … Continue reading
