The weather which I bitched about yesterday (and, for that matter, the day before), came back to haunt me today. Come to think of it, I’ve had a streak of really bad luck when it comes to travel over the past few months. I don’t think I’ve blogged about everything, but suffice it to say […] Today is my last day in the States for a brief spell—so I am kind of in a melancholy mood. My time here has not really gone as planned. I’d noticed that the Indianapolis Indians were scheduled to play a game Wednesday afternoon, so I planned accordingly. Unfortunately the weather conspired against me. I arrived […] This trip has been one of the worst trips I have ever taken, in terms of clothing. You see, I messed up. I thought to myself, “Easter, April, Warm.” In reality it’s been cold, rainy, with the potential for snow tomorrow. As my week in the States starts to wind down, I can safely say […] During my two trips to the United States in the last few weeks, I’ve had the opportunity to witness American parents with kids in public spaces.

One of the guests […] I cannot remember ever having stayed at a hotel before where the housekeepers left personal notes on my desk Isis on Friday morning, Laura and Theresa this morning. Plus the receptionists at the front desk are relentlessly cheerful—practically shouting out “Hello” across the lobby as I try to hide and get to the elevator un-verbally […] I can’t say that my trip to Bloomington was super exciting—as I write this I am somewhere over Northern Indiana heading toward my final air destination, Indianapolis. Pretty much the entire trip was uneventful in a good way. My train from Weimar to Berlin was relatively sedate (the passengers, that is). While taking the S-Bahn […] Again. I know, I just got back so it seems a bit odd, but I am on the road again. This time a week in Indiana, USA. Via Berlin. I chose to do a double connection from Berlin instead of the single connection from Frankfurt because, as I explained to several people, I want something […] |
