Yesterday was good-bye to Jimmy Doohan, and it was a sad day in Trekdom as we said farewell to Scotty. So much has been said in the last 24 hours. Jimmy was a guest on my first Trek cruise back in 93. He was a gracious man and he made it a point to sit down and talk to every fan at some point on that cruise. It was one of the stranger and speechless moments of my life to find Scotty sitting down and chatting with me. Too bad me and my friends were so starstruck that day. We couldn't carry a conversation but we still appreciated that he said hello.
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.
