There’s nothing like the sore hips and weird sleep you get
from sleeping on a night train. If you take this particular line the police
wake you up sometime between 11pm and 1am for a ticket and passport check. Now
it’s 5:45am and minutes ago I awoke up
with that weird body paralysis where you start to panic because your brain
wants to move but the body can’t cooperate. I always think of Kill Bill when
Beatrix Kiddo wills her legs to work—“Wiggle your big toe”. The appropriate
Ohrwurm for today would be Night Train. Now I am just passing through Hünfeld, Germany, some 200km from my
final destination of Stuttgart, for a month of fine weather and a tortuous
class. The too bitter taste of German coffee sits in my mouth as I am reminded
of their lack of coffee culture. Nonetheless, I’m here to report the newest
recipes!
