It is almost noon here in Basel and my cello and suitcase are in Frankfurt still. I’ve decided to stay and wait for them as Swissport couldn’t guarantee delivery until tomorrow. I just have to wait until 2, so time for my first grande café!
The air is different the languages are varied and I really notice the scent of perfume!
And internet is hard to find.
But I’ve found it now, in Mulhouse! I had to pay for it though....which seems pretty common, the only free wi-fi seemed to be outside a MacDonalds...
I took a walk around the old part of Mulhouse this evening, ate Strasbourgeois sausage and had a blanche beer at an outdoor café in the town square. It’s a great old part of the city with lots of old buildings, curvy alleys and pedestrian streets lined with shops.I also picked up a brochure for Meteo Mulhouse, and was reminded how little I planned for this trip. Because I get to see an armload of great concerts! Joelle Leandre of course, Barry Guy, John Tilbury, Ernst Reisjiger, Axel Dorner, Keith Rowe, Ignaz Schick…whew.
I can’t wait to start listening.
Tomorrow is the first day of the stages, my cello has finally arrived, and I’m pumped! I'm loving Europe.
Nice Streets
