A Birds Nest

My hair looked like a birds nest when I finished what was 24 hours of travel to get from Nairobi to Munich. Unlike my daughter Lauren, I don't put my best foot forward when traveling, just comfy, all cotton, all black outfits. If I am not wearing my Sarah Jessica Parker I'm sleeping or don't bother me eye mask its a headband.
I sat between two women, for my longest flight, 11 hrs and 35 min who were from Shreveport LA., the accent puts us worlds apart. I thought now and then, I bet these women never swear, Yankees swear or at least normal Yankees.
There can't be anymore of a contrast between the streets of Nairobi and Munich. Total confussion and Munich, orderly. Overcrowded buses, not unlike the scene in Romancing the Stone in the beginning of the movie when Joan Wilder/Kathleen Turner is on the public bus. The buses are loaded with people and the luggage rack as well. In Munich, crisp clean signage, flawless roads. The cars are all new and clean, Mercedes Benz, Audi, BMW and VW,some really neat styles I haven't seen in the states. On the drive from the aiport to downtown Munich I didn't converse with the driver, he knew no English and you know me I'm in that tight phonics box. My curiousity then is why does he listen to American music? If he doesn't know the language why? It must be the background tunes or the fact its American and that makes it cool? Or could it be Germans, as a nation, can't carry a tune?
Having been to Anne's home in Amsterdam and now in German my mind kept chanting "I can't forgive you fro what you did to Anne", why didn't anyone stop all that horrific killing, how could you distroy someone because of religious belief?
The tour director has been doing this for 36 years, I'd say he's seasoned. Off to Prague today with a few stops. Most of the tour group of 35 are from Sydney, variety of ages. Lots of free time worked into the agenda and only one meal a day with the group.
Off to Prague, the guide said Prague and Budapest are undervalued and gems.
