Dusseldorf Day~

Jim and I drove Cody and other youth

from our church to a stake youth activity

in Dusseldorf, about 1 hour away.

With their activity being 2 hours long

we took advantage of the time and 

walked around the city of Dusseldorf.

It was a very enjoyable morning!

We first walked to the harbor where we took in the
view of the Rheine River flowing past Dusseldorf.
The Rheine begins in Switzerland then heads
north eventully emptying into the North Sea.
The clock tower was a charming point of interest.

This is opposite the view of the clock tower,

along the harbor walk.  The haze and mist

hid the huge bridge built over the Rheine River. 

 Walking in to the city center was delightful

as we browsed the weekend markets selling

flowers, fresh vegetables, fruits and meat vendors.

Jim is paying for items chosen from this vendor.

I told Jim it is more fun shopping in this type of

market with all it's sights, sounds and smells than

the boring, old predictable grocery stores back home :-)
