Petco Park is the place to be for Sunday afternoon baseball! I was at the game yesterday (Padres lost to the Mets) and mostly liked the new park. It took 7 innings just to get used to the fact that I was watching the home team. It really felt like an away game with everything at the ballpark being backwards. The trolleys were packed so arrive early and leave late to stay free of sardine syndrome. The game was entertaining enough that I didn't wander the park. Of note, they actually serve Red Hook ESB at the stands so we have a choice other than Bud! Go team! I had a veggie dog at the Friar Frank's stand and didn't try any other food. I'm looking forward to the next game. Go Padres!
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.
