The new airline tickets arrived today for next week's trip. It's back to Kuwait-Dubai-Oman on this cycle and then I'll be done with the mid-east until the end of the year. I was reading the online edition of the Kuwait Times tonight and there was an editorial about "How Kuwait Touched my Heart." This nurse came to Kuwait to work in a clinic and talked about isolation and the internet (I could relate) and how there wasn't much to do there. Then she found seasons and flowers and warm sun could be charming. Turns out Kuwait was the first place she'd ever been outside of her home country of Bulgaria. Tough call. I've never been to Bulgaria but in a toss up, Kuwait's ocean and weather might come out on top.
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.
