Thanksgiving weekend is finally here and in a few hours I'll be on my way to Paris! I'm not sure if I'll post from there but you can always check back on Monday for the initial trip report and a photo or two.
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.
Just got a call from Karen. She is stuck in the Chicago airport due to the heavy snow falling. Her flight to Paris is delayed by several hours. Hopefully she will get there tomorrow.
