Karlsruhe

I like to walk. One of my favorite things to do is wander through a city either on foot or a really old bicycle that’s worth about $2. Germany’s a pretty good place to do that. Today I walked around Karlsruhe, then hiked up to the hill above Durlach. There’s actually both a staircase and a train that go to the top, but taking a train up a hill is cheating and I didn’t find the staircase until the way down it’s rather hard to spot really. Every Friday evening Tomashof has a service for the youth called Praystation. I took a bus up and accidentally got off one stop to early, so rather than wait for the next bus I decided to hoof it since I figured I was less than a mile away. In actuality, I was probably closer to 2 miles away and as I arrived at Tomashof, the next bus went by. So on the bright side I stayed warm, got some exercise and something to talk about.
