Munster and Wuppental

My brother and I have ventured North from Dusseldorf, to the town of Munster
Yesterday we visited to town of Wuppental, and their zoo
Today we were walking by the lake, and the cathedral. Than a brief trip about the state museum. Where there were pieces of art both modern and even ancient. There was a hand carved crucifix, from the high middle ages. Reminded me, of the Lewis Chessmen

Germany I am back from Germany.

 I was there for a brief holiday. Traveling with my brother. I am pleased to report that I did not smoke. Germany seems to be the one place left in the world. Where its possible to light up, without raising anyone's hackles.

 I remember eating an open salami sandwich in the departure lounge I watched sports-Rugby, Cricket, and  Football. 

I enjoyed the local brew. (Kolsch) I ate salami sandwiches. I went up Koln cathedral. Well almost. I will admit to a panic attack, a few flights from the top. I was so close, then I saw the last piece of the puzzle. The spiral staircase. My nerve went. To get up top, one goes up a spiral staircase.

 Which travelers ascending and descending must share. I have never prayed so devoutly then on that staircase. Children passed by me laughing, teenagers, oblique to the world, beyond their mp3 players and phones. I was in terror.

 In the Ludwig museum- As I left, I saw a video. It was a woman enjoying herself in an art gallery. Other exhibits, involved nudes, and a marital aide. Oh and Americana,- plastics. I travelled on the Rhine, sightseeing ferry and it turned so cold. 

I had to come in doors, and hide. I did not get to see my friends
