Lethargy

"A danger of travel is that we may see things at the wrong time, before we had an opportunity to build up the necessary receptivity so that new information is as useless and fugitive as necklace beads without a connecting chain."

- Alain de Botton

This past weekend, I realized my lethargy in Frankfurt. I could not seize the opportunity for receptivity, though I tried ever so hard. I originally thought it could be that I'm exhausted (perhaps mentally and physically) from so much traveling already that the anticlimax of a day in Frankfurt really threw me on brakes, but really I guess I'm getting to tired to prepare myself for a day of travel. Or maybe that I had no clue what to do or see in Frankfurt. A German told me to shop, but I really just wanted to eat sausage and I'd already done that.

So, I guess I'll never come back to Frankfurt unless it's for the airport, but I'm trying to give it the benefit of the doubt. I really did find the central bank and money museum to be interesting. Also, we were lucky enough to be there when there was a festival going on (Japanese) so there were stands everywhere for good food. Because it's Germany, one stand had sausages. And that's all I needed. I'm done with those H&M's everywhere. I can't wait to go back to the sticks where they don't have them.
