As the day winds down in Jordan, the US is still 4 hours away from the Super Bowl. The game was finally mentioned on TV tonight and other than me, no one tuned into the topic. By the time I wake up in the morning, the game will have been over and gone with barely a notice overseas. It always is a disconnect how far removed I am from normal social activities that take place at home when I travel. There is a whole different life here where the day is paced different and work has a far bigger impact on people's lives than at home. There are also less distractions from work and politics and a nine hour work day easily rolls into an eleven hour work day.
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.
