In the tradition of delaying homework as long as possible, I turned to TiVo for entertainment. I was so ready for something different that I even read the TiVo ads. Turns out that I can rent movies from amazon.com and have them downloaded to my TiVo. Wonderful! I haven't rented a movie in years and never got in the habit of pay per view. I had this vision of all new releases just waiting for me this weekend. Instead the new releases are all the movies that I watched on the cruise ship and airplanes over and over for several weeks. Bummer. I still have hope for the amazon unbox but not this weekend.
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.
