...all my troubles seemed so far away

Ever try moving 3 suitcases when the only transportation you have available to use is public transportation? You have to do it in phases, and store stuff in a train station locker (which are still great for trading illicit goods, imho). Then you have to not lose the key to that train station locker (just as with the illicit goods trade). That's where I messed up. But luckily here the fee for losing a key is 9 Euros as opposed to the $75 at LifeTime Fitness...

That pretty much summed up last night and today... Oh yea, and then I had to pick up my TBE vaccine from my friend's house since I don't have a refrigerator, but then I ended up standing at the wrong bus stop (which brings me to another point that I'll get at later...), so I missed the bus. I got on a different route and tried to run the half mile to the bus stop where I had to change busses... needless to say I didn't make it. So I stopped at a nearby döner stand, where I purchased a döner kebab sandwich and a beer (yes, Germany has no laws about drinking in public, but so far I've only seen myself, hobos, and shady dudes do it).

Well, then I had to keep the TBE vaccine cool so I went to buy the cheapest ice cream at the store in the train station... 0,50€ it was labeled, not to bad, until when I go up to pay, she charges me 1,-€. I try to argue, but it's futile. Apparently there's no Michigan bounty over here.

Anyways, I made it back to the B&B, alive, so I'll still label today as an overall success.
