What is the travel writing life really like? Is it as great as people think? I hope to come to some conclusions as I share my trips and travails.

Karl Marx's House
His words changed the world yet he was somewhat a flop. He dragged his family through hell and loved the good life. He was Karl Marx and he was born in Trier, Germany. His birth house is a museum and heavily visited. The most devoted pilgrims to the museum are the people of China. It shows as the neighborhood is filled with Chinese restaurants and shops. Move over Mao.
