We went into the center of "old Town" Dusseldorf, which is called Altstadt. It is the home of the world's longest bar (runs along the Rhine River promenade), with dozens of diverse restaurants and shops. Favorite beer so far is in this area. It is called Uerig, and they have a pub with room after room of seats and tables to hang out and drink their beer. It is only available locally, and it is the oldest brewery making the Dusseldorf originated style of beer called "Alt Beer". After a couple of those, we came across a street performer making bubbles for the kids. Marissa jumped into the fray and we caught her on film chasing a bubble.
Our new apartment is 2 train stops from Altstadt, which is nice. It also has a small kids park nearby, where Marissa has taken over the swing and the slide. Caught some of the action on film here as well.
It is like fall here already, it makes me think of Portland type weather. We move into the new apartment the last weekend of August, our first shipment of essentials just arrived this week.
More blogs on the way as we settle in and start to explore more.
