Goodbye Dusseldorf

A few days ago we left Dusseldorf for the last time (on this adventure at least). I spent the last weekend of the trip in Dusseldorf, which was really nice and relaxing. It was nice to be in a stable place for a little while and not travel. I was able to experience the city at my own pace; I went out into the old town and read by the river and then met up with some of the other guys and we found some live bands along the river. It was a really relaxing weekend, a perfect goodbye to the city. It was also really nice to see the family a bit more on the weekend.

Our last day in the city was spent writing. It may sound extremely unfortunate that we were not able to party or go out on the last day, but in all honesty it felt extremely good to actually have to think. The whole research and writing process made me feel so productive, and it felt good.

We had an excellent last few days, and while it was sad to leave the host family, we could not have left the city on a better note.
