Essen & Duisburg: the Urban Jungle of the Ruhr Region in Germany
I'm not sure how long I'll be able to keep this up, but for now I'm trying to avoid trips that require getting on an airplane. Which means that if I do want to travel abroad, I look for places just across the border. So when I received an invite to visit Essen and...

Outdoor lunch at J+A Cafe
