sleepy
The glorious arrival by sea is not to be. It doesn’t seem as if the Italians are stopping by Cyprus on their way to Beirut, and the Israeli blockade continues, so it didn’t seem like a good idea to be on an island.
Then on to Beirut on Monday. Only a 36-hour trip but it seems longer than that after only 18.
I spent most of the day wandering aimlessly around the pretty Sunday-quiet town of Mainz, west of the Frankfurt airport, until lack of sleep forced me back. I was afraid I might pass out in the park. I have a 9pm flight to Amman, will arrive at 2am. Highly uncivilized. I’m just hoping it won’t be too hard to find a hotel where the desk is still open — without paying $150 that is. I do have a list to work off anyway.
But you know, I can already feel my horizons opening back up. I noticed them doing it while I was sitting on the bank of the Rhine. It’s travel that does that.
