Funny isn't it, how you think of where you were when you read a fascinating book and how that backdrop threads into the story and the memory of the reading. I read John Shors' book Temple of a Thousand Faces while in Antwerp, staying in a Storage Container that was converted into a hotel room. John is on our show this week and is always a wealth of information and gives a great interview. Check it out below or Click HERE to Listen.
It turned out that John's book carried me away and let me escape the memories of a cruel cold night in Antwerp. I had walked in the icy snow for 1/4 mile and slipped it seemed on every cobblestone.

I was alone with no one around me and the containers stand alone with only a visit or two from the owners each day.
After some thoughtful local help, and 2 more hours of challenge, I finally was inside my container room. The real challenge came when I realized that I had accidently locked myself into the container. The night got even bleaker as the water main broke and no water was available in the room. There was also no internet and no phone service.

Theoretically, the container hotel should have been an experience of a life time, the bedding, robes, slippers and quality of the mattress reflected a high end hotel experience and the cleanliness and the warmth was calming and inviting. The location was fascinating, yet, I had the luck of finding myself in Antwerp at the beginning of the coldest Spring in 100 years. It was so cold that the ice and piles of snow around the casings of the doors made it very difficult for a me to open the doors to the container. Ultimately, I wrote HELP ME notes and stuck them to the windows using my chap stick as glue.
Early the next day I was rescued by one of the three owners. He whisked me off to the hotel he owns in the heart of [Back to Press Releases Main]
