There's always one or two passengers that I feel an instanteous bond with during my rides.
The ride request was to pick up a passenger at the Amtrak Train Station on Michigan Ave in Dearborn, Mi.
A young college student boarded my car. As I drove off, I asked him about traveling by train. Did he like it? Me, I love to travel by train. The Public Transport system in Michigan is lacking. The big push for years, was to buy a car but that trend has since shifted. His answer was in the affirmative. The convo started off about trains then quickly segued into travelling parts of Europe...specifically Germany! A kindred spirit! I haven't been to Germany since 1993 or 4(can't remember, it's been that long)and my passenger, he had travelled parts of Germany as part of a study group and also whilst on Spring break.
We both developed a longing for Getman food...Spätzle , Saur Braten, Cream of Asparagus Soup, Potato Dumplings
and my fave, Frittaten Zuppe! I regaled him with tales of traveling to Liechtenstein Switzerland , Austria. He told me of visiting Berlin and love the diversity of the city! Time to get back to Germany was the general consensus for the both of us! We arrived at his drop off location and bid Auf Wiedersehn to each other.
I need to renew my passport.
