Growing up in New Paltz, I heard the church bells every hour and half hour. When I’m in Hurley, it’s the same. I’ve never really heard them other places we’ve lived until now. I haven’t paid enough attention to know how regularly they do them, but I notice them fairly often.
Money - not used to change being “real money.” I’ll buy something for a little over 2€ and give a 5€ bill instead of pulling out a couple 1 or 2€ coins.
Why are there two Plittersdorf-Mitte stops on the same bus line? It’s not like one is northbound & one is southbound or one is the 611 and the other the 637. No, the 637 & 638 have two consecutive stops named Plittersdorf-Mitte.
Feeling stupid - Yes, I can find my way around pretty well, but I can’t read or talk. It’s frustrating.
Dogs - Lots of people have them and they are everywhere. They are allowed on buses and in most businesses. They are incredibly well-behaved. This morning I heard a dog bark and I realized that it was the first time since I’ve been here.
Weather - talk about changeable - it’s downright freaky. Yesterday it was beautiful, sunny, a little breezy - I opened the windows and ran across the street to the grocery store for half a dozen things. As I was crossing the street, I noticed it clouding up a bit. It rained while I was at the store, but was sunny again by the time I walked out. It’s been like that for the last four or five days.
Biking - it really does come back quickly. Yesterday I biked up to Bonn city center (almost 9 miles round trip) and am not stiff or sore - and honestly, I expected to be.
