yeah, Cian. it is.
great day in Düsseldorf, despite occasional heavy rain and what is either a virus i've contracted or the end result of obviously record-setting-bad airplane food.
hell, that's why i've had so much time to write.
i can't go to bed til this settles down, and i can't do much else while i sit and wait.
walked a lot. strolled in the rain. conversed with autumn.
went for coffee then beer with Merle.
she's been an unbelievable host.
endlessly hostipable and easy to talk to (she speaks better english than i do).
we had Altbier - a local brew, the pride of Düsseldorf, and quite renowned - and Kölsch - rival city Köln's answer to D'dorf's Altbier.
Altbier wins in a landslide.
no offense to Cologne.
but it's dark, full, bitter.
it warms your insides like a glass of Rotwein.
Kölsch is much lighter in all aspects and, while pleasant, doesn't stand out boldly like Altbier.
No incidents today outside of butt worms. I'm disappointed.
