“The Rhine Runs Slow”

May 2nd, 2007

As I peered down the Rhine river this year I had different feelings than normal.  I had no Hotel (it went bankrupt and didn’t tell me), no travel accommodations lined up, or access to money for a couple days due to European credit card limbo.  Hmmm,  soak it in, said the watch guy, now we know how our immigrant grandparents felt stepping on American soil for the first time, yes broke and desperate.  So with a sharp tongue and a few contacts later I was a ward of Germany (as close as I could get to Basel) for a couple days.  Ahh travel, be a bum not a tourist.
