The last two days in Dusseldorf have been quite a whirlwind.
Our first night we wandered towards the “old town” in Dusseldorf which reminds me of St. Anthony Main in Minneapolis. It’s filled with brick walkways and cafes with the beautiful Rhine rivers just a few blocks away. Last night we ended up having some great white fish for dinner and then proceeded to bar hop around old town.
We first chilled out at a few different outdoor cafes and people watched for a while. Then found this hole in the wall bar called “Da Spiegel” that had a band playing in a small area on the second floor of the bar. They were actually pretty good even though they played a lot of American classic rock. It was interesting to see how American culture has seeped into so many different areas of the German culture. At the bar I had my first experience with “Alt” beer, which is a local Dusseldorf beer. It was absolutely delicious. We ended up staying out at the bar until dawn just listening to great music and mingling with the german people.
