K-Stad

A quick post from K-Stad. Been here about three hours and will meet Jessi and Anja for dinner before we head off to the play.

Some pics from the past few hours:


The city center.


The river that flows through the city and the view from the hostel window.


I had to stop at the library, of course. On the left, you'll see Ace of Base is well represented. That picture was posed. On the right, you'll see Jenny's biography. That picture was not posed. That's the way I found the book on the shelf.



I also found this poster hanging up at the library.



And finally, my ticket for tonight!

Here's a rundown of the play for those who are wondering what it's about:

It's 2052 and the theater has been closed for ten years. The theatre has been turned into an old folks home. Some of the old singers and actors who used to play at the theatre now live in the nursing home. The artists refuse to be old. They still live in their old rooms and wear their old scene clothes. Once a day, the nurse takes them out for a little cultural enjoyment with some old-time songs. This time, it turns into something a little different than the nurse had expected...

Jessi just called, so it's time to go! Catch up with you after the show!

Finishing touches and final snags

Tying up all those loose ends today and making a last checklist. I'm waiting on one final package, picking up batteries at the store, mowing my lawn. Those sort of last-minute odds and ends.

I also spent a little time finishing up my travel schedule. I tried to buy my last train & bus tickets, but it didn't work out so well. I have the same roadblock with my US SIM card. It's not working out so well at the moment. These little snags are expected though. It puts a little spice in the otherwise dry travel preparations.

I promise this blog will be more interesting once the travel gets underway. ;)
