50       ENCHANTED IRELAND

                   Within the first twenty-four hours of
                   landing in Dublin, we are welcomed by no
                   less than five rainbows in as many hours.
                   We are amazed, inspired and intrigued. We
                   then reminded ourselves to remember the
                   legendary pot of gold at each rainbow’s
                   base. We will keep our eyes wide open for
                   each pot of gold.
          56       ROSTOCK REMEMBERS

                   Leaving the dark and dingy prison on a
                   cloudless day, I needed to shake off some
                   of the depression by taking a short train
                   ride to Warnemunde, Rostock’s beachfront
                   resort on the Baltic Sea. The quaint seafront
                   town is known to thousands of travelers.
          60       MAGICAL MÜNSTER

                   With some 60,000 university students—
                   one-fifth of the town--Münster, situated on
                   the River Aa, is a youthful, energetic city of
                   culture, with over 30 museums (including                                            50
                   the popular Pablo Picasso Museum), and
                   sculpture by international artists.
