Evening beer for the day - Kona Brewing Company's Fire Rock Pale Ale. Just popped it open to relax while I blog. I've been looking for a way to post travel logs and the old web site just didn't fit the bill anymore. The next upcoming trip is still a month off - NYC for Memorial Day Weekend. Benderbrau and I were at McCabe's back in January listening to Al Stewart when we decided to go off to London and see Al live in concert there. Well that was damn expensive so we ditched that plan and decided on NY. That was better bacause at Al's concert in Feb. he spoke to us. Not literally of course, but the opening number was "In Brooklyn" so we knew it was a sign from Al. Good thing too since the plane tickets had been purchased.
Dusseldorf - continued
The sun slowly gave way to clouds then rain. This is not a city for walking in the rain. Before it was time to shelter and stay dry, I did one last walk around the area. The business district and surrounding areas are clean and little graffiti or murals. Found this flamingo? near the old city. While the leaves probably congest the waterways, they do look cool floating on the water. Ornate door entrance. Soon after this was taken, the clouds and mist lowered and the top of tower stayed obscured for the rest of my stay. I decided to pass on paying to go to the top when there was no visibility. Back in my hotel room I saw this rainbow emerge right before the rain started pelting down.
