Bremen

I was ill the first few days here…I guess a relapse of my previous cold brought on by not enough sleep and recycled air on the airplane…the lady next to me was such an active sleeper, ugh. But I just slept a whole lot and got past it, though the daytrip to Bremen was not so fun because of it. I hid out in a church and tried to rest until it closed, wandered about and fell asleep on a park bench in a light rain, then found my way into a cafe or two for shelter until the ride showed up.

Bremen is a beautiful city. As I implied, much of it was lost on me because I felt like crap, but there were some very neat old buildings, mainly old homes of fisherman. By old, I mean older than the USA. We wandered around there trying to find a cafe not infested by tourists in the maze of streets, and succeeded eventually. There was a rally of some sort or another…live music on the streets of a hiphop sort, a lot of signs that seemed to protest something, quite a going-on.
