In transit to Hamburg, Prologue

My hotel's free WiFi won't let me upload anything, just download it. So the swell, pictures-included blog I prepared during my train trip will have to wait until I can find a workaround. I'm going out to see the sights of Hamburg, and I'll get things posted as I can. I'm writing this post from the hard-to-use blogger web-based system, rather than from the cool app I have on my iPad. Unfortunately for you, seeing the sights comes first. You all still have a place in my heart, but time's a-wasting! I took the time to post this message about my difficulty posting so my Mom won't call die Politzisten and report a missing son ;)
