On the Road

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 […]

A Quick Drive to Frankfurt…

Due to the windy weather, I just got back from a quick drive to Frankfurt.

I made the quick trip to Frankfurt (total time out of the car in the city: 60 seconds) because the long-haul trains were not working today and somebody had to be in Frankfurt tonight, but did not want to drive.

[…]

Random Deutsch Things

I forgot to explicitly say it, but last weekend, the men in Apolda were really cute—that is to say they had my number: lots of funky hair that attracts me. Why these men do not seem to show up in Weimar is beyond me.

Christmas shopping sucks: Disenchanted has complained about it before, so it […]

My Queer Weekend

I left Weimar this weekend for a number of reasons—the specific ones are not especially important. As you might recall, my original plan was to go used underwear shopping in Berlin, but ended up going to Frankfurt, Trier, and (as I write this, enroute to) Antwerp.

Suffice it to say, Frankfurt continues to disappoint. I […]

Shifting Plans

As you may recall, next weekend I planned to be in Berlin, buying (used) underwear.

Well, my plans have changed.

The apartment where I was planning to spend three nights was double booked for first night, and although the owner offered to put me up in a hotel for that night, the idea of having […]

Personal Hell

If I were to write a script where I was putting myself through hell, it would look something like this:

I arrive somewhere not realizing that “somewhere” is on the verge of breaking out in celebration or protest. I check into my hotel and am warned that a private party might be disruptive. I stay […]

Frankfurt Furienmeister

As I write this, I’m at my hotel in Frankfurt, having passed the afternoon wandering town.

My main objective, and truly the sole reason I came early was to see the works by “der Furienmeister” at the Liebieghaus. The sculptures, all by an unknown master around 1600, were fantastic. The intricacy and detail of the […]

Frankfurt

I’m in Frankfurt tonight, here in order to catch my flight to America tomorrow morning.

Frankfurt is, on the whole, as far as I can tell, a pretty ugly city. There’s not much going for it.

However, I did enjoy my trip to the the intricate carvings at the Sculpture Museum, and I picked up […]

Neanderthals

It seems what one can easily buy across the street from Frankfurt’s train station was available in the region eons ago.

Only in stone.
