Mannheim

One of the big things that I was looking forward to by going traveling is finally getting some exercise again. The winter back home is not motivating me to do anything besides continuing to hide under the blankets and attempt to hibernate as much as possible. So I swung myself on a bike and discovered a whole bunch of muscles that haven't moved in quite a while and correspondingly responded to receiving requests with "No" and "Waaaaaaah!". At least the views weren't bad. Especially given that the wet forecast fortunately got cancelled and were replaced with blue skies. I think I may have even already gotten my first bit of sunburn ...

Otherwise, I'm continuing the trend of meeting people, enjoying the warmth, trying to remember how to communicate with them, resorting to sign language when the verbal language fails, and jumping to the next place in case the sign language somehow ended me up on a hit list. Hopefully the muscles won't try to kill me either in retaliation to the biking ...
