European Escapades

Europe!

So quick update... were in Berlin and so far weve been to...

Paris... which was amazing. loved the eiffel tower at night... loved taking a ferris wheel with kate to see the city. loved the louve with cassie... loved the modern art museum better.

Amsterdam... surprisingly better than I expected. It was a lot of fun and still a really cool city. did a free walking tour... caught a concert... mistakenly went to a gay club called pirates... checked out the red light district... etc etc fav place so far

Brussels... only there for 5ish hours. so we had chocolate and waffles then hung out in the train station... which went to hell. we got stared down by some worker who spilled water... then 2 seconds later some guy came up and was basically yelling at us if we spoke french and obviously we didnt... then he left after cassie yelled at him then another guy next to us jumped up and ran away... we think he got pickpocketed and we were the distraction. it was so wierd

Berlin... one more day here. today we did a walking tour to see most of the city and tomorrow were going back to some places to look closer or doing some museums

its rained everyday weve been here... but were in good spirits and having fun! times up on the internet peace out

hey everyone

its wednesday and im supposed to leave london tomorrow to meet cassie, kaitlyn, and kate in paris. I doubt ill make it what with all the canceling of flights from the terrorist actions.

last night i went out with this guy andy that was in lithuania for a couple days. he showed me around london and took me places i probbbbably wouldnt have known to go to like the Tate Modern art museum where the metamorphosis of narcissus is... which is one of my favorite pieces... and hangs by my bed next to starry night by rembrant and a picasso. dali fits right in. then we met his brother and his best friend and we did a sort of pub crawl that included one bar that had a fake beach with sand and beach chairs and everything. so that was fun.


then today one of the nuns mothers came and took me around to more places i wouldn't have normally gone, such as guild hall which also had an art gallery that included a roman amphitheature where gladiators performed.

now im just trying to figure out this flight thing. keep your fingers crossed that i can make it to london and meet cassie in time

muchlove
