We had an early airport run this morning, so we were halfway to Darmstadt, where we needed to pick up some furniture from a furniture store there. The problem was we had a few hours to wait until the store opened at 10:00.
We looked for something interesting to do in Darmstadt, and found this funky Vortex Garden. It’s in a private back yard, but it’s open to the public most hours of the day. It was really quite interesting to walk through. And it was free! Come take a look.












There were lots of interesting places to sit and read or contemplate the universe.




This is a habitat for insects.







We weren’t far from the Russian Orthodox church and the Wedding Tower, so we wandered there too.












Finally we were able to pick up the furniture and head back to Frankfurt.

Here’s some asparagus growing in a field along the way:
