Hamster Fatigue

At some point during our travels, Paul and I spotted Roger sort of zoning out and practically falling asleep during one of our tours. Paul leans over to me and whispers, “I think Roger’s hamster is slowing down” (note sleeping man in the reflection). For those of you that don’t get what this implies, it merely explains the fatigue Roger exhibited was because the hamster running the wheel in his brain seemed to have worn out. Now it’s been a running joke, sort of like the spargel (which, by the way, we had again last night) but today I think it was actually true for all of us. I think we’ve all hit some sort of wall. Initially I thought that the end of our second week (last week) was our biggest hump, and after moving to Kronberg, I thought we were getting our second wind. That was until today. Christine believes that we are now in actuality just sharing one hamster, because for the most part we have all checked out but usually there is one of us that can keep our everyone, including our hosts, fooled.
