Amsterdam to Austria . . .
By the way, Transformers is a fun movie. Giant robots rule. And now for some answers:
- On the 14th, I called the house we were staying at to say we were on the way back from downtown London. She asked if we had eaten dinner yet or not; we replied no. She asked what we wanted to eat and suggested KFC, Chinese food, or pizza. Over the phone, she said, "what do you want, Kentucky Chinese pizza?" Incidentally, we went with The Colonel that night.
- Once we got to Italy, my Italian did get a bit better. However, Italian restaurant in London? Not so good . . . both the food and my ordering of my meal.
- Totally didn't get to see Stonehenge. While we were in Britain, we only ever saw London (while cool, was only but a piece of the whole country that I'd love to see. Next time, I guess . . .)
- These were indeed from the legendary red travelling clipboard, definitely.
- My particular dinosaur phase actually lasted a long time, from the age of five to twelve, arguably even beyond that. So it was cool to see all the dinosaur stuff at the Natural History Museum.
- Old guy at Midgar was not Reno, no. He was in fact just an old guy who rambled for a bit until he shouted "fucking asians!" after we walked past him. Then I figured he was probably talking to us. It must be fun to be a crazy person sometimes . . .
And now for my Germanic leg of the trip . . . ish . . .
Amsterdam -> Rhine Valley (May 18):
- Well . . . we woke up, so that's a plus . . .
- Anne Frank House - almost lost it in there (very emotional)
- Amsterdam is a city of tourists . . . and it's VERY different in morning!
- Mmm . . . Belgian Fries . . . frites, if you will . . .
- Germany: Self-washing toilets @ rest stop!
- Muppet Show . . . bahaha . . .
- Rhine Valley = gorgeous!
- More drinking tonight . . . good times . . . wine-tasting, etc . . . then wine festival . . .
- "Less Tall Michelle" has your Europe adaptor!
Rhine Valley -> Munich (May 19):
- Beer steins = badass. St. Goar = badass.
- Sausages are kicking my ass . . .
- Anyways . . . Munich rules. Very cool place.
- Taught people how to do laundry.
- St. Peter's Cathedral . . . entombed saint, bell tower . . .
- "Tom Cross is gay"
- The Glockenspiel is banal . . .
- Hofbräuhaus . . . booyah. Big beers. I had 2 . . . others, more so.
- Snuff. Gross but neat. Pretzels . . . salty. Pork . . . yummy (hair).
- Happy Birthday Shawn!
- Jessie is drunk . . . but he's a big boy, he'll get home . . .
Munich -> Austria (May 20):
- . . . . . evidently, he's not . . . idiot . . .
- I love Germany . . . but Austria is gorgeous . . . . .
- Austrian mountains pwn the Rockies . . . holy crap . . .
- We had a powerful rafting team.
- "White Party" - good times. Made friends w/ Maureen . . .
- Hung w/ Big Austrian biker man . . . good times . . .
- Getting people to bed = fun.
