Dusseldorf

We are in the business lounge in the Dusseldorf airport at 6:00 AM Dusseldorf time.  My blogger page now gives me headings in German.  Vera is immediately happy because she is in Europe.  I have never seen someone so glad to see an airport at 6 AM.  She has disappeared into the shops, for the moment.   We are waiting for our plane for Helsinki, which leaves at 9 AM.

Our last few days in New York I tried to slow down a bit, so as to conserve some touristic energy for the next two weeks.  I did, however, spend a lot of time in the subways, taking photos and movies for my work-in-progress.   We did discover that, even with with more than 2 weeks in NY, it was still not enough time to feel totally at home yet, as in living a normal life.

Now the family tourism begins in earnest.    The paradigm for our method of tourism is exemplified by the time in Rome when we came to an intersection, and Vera wanted to turn right, Ada wanted to go straight, and I thought we should go left.   I don't remember what we ending up doing.   Stay tuned.

I am now going to press the Veröffentlichen button.   If the buttons turn Finnish in Helsinki, I may be in trouble..
