Guten Morgen No Worms for us last night. J's got that throaty, tasty, green-producing cough going on and was basically sleep walking so I let him off the hook and decided to just go walk to dinner. and walk we did -- i'd say about 2 miles. we both knew we'd seen what looked like a quaint little pizzaria place so we circled and circled and couldn't find it to both of our frustrations. we finally ended up at a pizza place 2 blocks from the hotel and sat quietly for the first 5 minutes because we were both sick of saying "which way do you think we should go, what should we do". No bottle of Chianti last night. :) Got back and I sat on this damn computer for-ever trying to plan the perfect ... read more

It really was so very nice of him (to remain nameless) to accompany us and "help" us with Heidelberg today, it was and I'm grateful for it and I have to keep reminding myself that a slightly let-down of a day in Heidelberg Germany is better than any day at the USPS. For various reasons i don't want to get specific about (because it's not nice, at all, to be mean to people for things they can't help) it was a tough day with our companion....I'm trying to stop banging my head against the wall but I simply cannot. We visited the castle in H, awesome structure and surely there's a great story and history behind it... but to me going to such a location without doing the audio tour or a guided tour is 98% ... read more

Europe » Germany » Baden-Württemberg » Mannheim June 20th 2010

Beautiful morning - was super surprised by the great and big breakfast that's provided by the hotel - eggs, ham, prosciutto, salami, fruit lots of cheeses, tomatoes, cucumbers, granoly cereal and yummy breads. It's cool outside - I went for a walk to attempt to pay the guy back for the water - closed, nothing and i mean nothing is open, not even the pharmeke, which I attempted to go to two and both closed. It's perfectly quiet on the streest except for the sound of the loud church bells which seemed to last forever and my scuffling feet which makes me think i'm waking people up. Apparently up until just a couple years ago everything was also closed on Saturdays by 6pm. I've got an hour before J gets back from the a.m. workout so ... read more

There are no clocks in the room so I haven't a clue what time it is - but I can't sleep. It's still dark outside so i'm going with 4ish am. As i'm laying here restless and trying not to wake up Jeremy I had a brilliant idea that i wanted to journal this trip...googled "write a travel blog" and here i am. I considered journaling the real way but my hand hurts after writing 2 sentences anymore and besides what fun is journaling if i can't share it. Most won't be interested but i know a few who will be so for you and for me I shall write. Sweet Jo from MTT gave me a ride to the airport yesterday, my flight was delayed by an hour and I stressed because I knew I ... read more
