Back when I wrote those words I imagined a blog to share travel stories and some of my favorite travel photos. However, thanks to fantastic hosts and wonderful company, I was too busy sightseeing, drinking wine and beer, and eating tapas and cheese to really care about updating my public during Brady’s and my trip to Spain and Germany.
Being prone towards guilt, and not wanting to disappoint my large and expectant population of readers, I thought I might go back in time and revisit some of those earlier travels and add some of the pictures. But, just as I was thinking about actually doing it, I read Matt’s blog.
Matt is a friend who, with his wife Julie, hosted Brady and me in their flat during our trip to Berlin. Matt has been blogging about his adventures, but until recently refused to share the url. I made it to his blog today and immediately felt the weight of the world’s web judgment.
It’s just that Matt’s blog is way better than mine. It’s written better and it’s far more entertaining. His blog is better even allowing for the fact that few of you know Matt and therefore may be unconcerned with his daily musings. Go see for yourself: http://berlinrudesheimerplatz.blogspot.com/
And while you’re there, the last entry in June (“The Password is Fidelio”) recounts the highlight of my trip to Berlin. All I will add to Matt’s account are a few photos that I stealthily grabbed without a flash so as to not attract any attention from the legitimate party-goers. Unfortunately I was too chicken to photograph the white suited opera singer.
Moving forward I will strive to be a better blogger but I suspect that Matt is simply a more talented writer and storyteller. In the meantime, feel free to return here for what passes for blogging and for an occasional insight on Kenya.
