Düsseldorf in the Spring

It was a four-day weekend this weekend. I took advantage of the break and visited Robin in Düsseldorf, Germany. Düsseldorf is a city of multiple industries, located in the westernmost part of Germany, and is the capital of the German state North Rhein-Westphalia.

Düsseldorf is on the Rhein River:


Despite Düsseldorf’s industrial nature, my visit included interacting with a surprising amount of animal life. There were multiple families of wild rabbits that lived in the courtyard surrounding Robin’s housing. Here are a couple of their babies:


And the day I got there, a rather large herd of sheep mysteriously appeared on the banks of the Rhein:


Their presence was unexplained, but they seemed quite content to mill around and eat with their own families:


More poking around the region and fewer baby animals tomorrow, I promise.
