Drunken Spiral across Europe, Day 1

[albadger]

Yesterday was day 0, which barely registers -- flight from SFO to Munich was 2 hours late & had me getting to my hotel at 9pm, majorly loogied. Today is my jet lag day -- as I will be useless until I adjust, I have scheduled no timed events until tomorrow night's opera. I suppose viewing the New City Hall glockenspiel display at 11am is timed, but it's free & requires no effort beyond walking a block in the next 45 minutes.

Observations:

• On the Airbus 340, I defy you to find a better seat than 57G. The economy section is 2-4-2, until you get to the last 5 rows, where the middle section drops to 3 seats. The flight wasn't full, so the middle seat was empty. A mere step from the little-used rear lavatory, which is bigger than most Manhattan apartments.
• Entertainment choices included the films Playing for Keeps and Here Comes the Boom.
• I'm 59 years old and I still seem to be the youngest person staying at this hotel.

Off to watch the glockenspiel now. I have precious memories of the It's a Small World clock. I hope this thing can measure up.
