Bruxelles -> Karlsruhe

I did wake up the next morning on time albeit slightly groggy. Got some breakfast, Packed up, checked out and headed around the city. The first thing I did was track down an adapter that I probably ended up paying way to much for. Oh well. Live and learn.

I wandered around a little more and went to the train station to catch a train to Kolne and then Karlsruhe to meet up with Jared. The trip from Bruxelles to Karlsruhe went by quickly. After a while I called Jared to let him know I was arriving in what I thought was about 20 minutes. As I was talking to him I noticed a electronic readout that listed the time to the next station. I’m red-green color blind and red on black displays have always been a little difficult for me to read. By slightly squinting I made out that Karlsrugh HBF was only 4 minutes away. Whoops. Before I knew I was standing in front of that edificife of american culture with the big M waiting for Jared to show up. He did and we jumped the next tram to his place stopping off to check out his workplace. That evening was fairly low key playing cards with Carola and David at Tomashof, a mennonite retreat center and the church where Jared goes.
