Day Ten: August 28th Ulm, Germany




















It's settled. This town rocks. It's got the perfect blend of the modern and the old school. There are all kinds here. That waitress was right about the old folks vs. the new folks. There are a ton of old people here who look at the young people with disdain, and as a result there are a lot of freaks, punk-rockers, hip-hoppers...you know, all the urban sub-cultures. It's an interesting blend of folks.

There's a small river that runs along the one side of the city and there are a bunch of little parks and pathways there. It was a beautiful day, so everyone was out enjoying themselves. There's something about this town. I can't say exactly what it is, but I know I'll never forget it.

Added later: Apparently the cathedral is the tallest church in the world!!
