Oeeeee, oe, oe, oeeeee.... Como estais todos?? Por aquí un poco pasados por agua, que esto no parece verano ni de coña...la semana pasada tuvimos entre 10 y 15 grados. Aquí todo el mundo dice que no es muy normal, que suele hacer mejor tiempo y más calor, pero empiezo a pensar que es para no desanimar al personal...y que no salgamos corriendo. Este fin de semana nos hemos hecho una excursión a Múnich, aprovechando que hoy lunes también ha sido festivo...yo no entiendo muy bien estas fiestas, hoy era Pfingsten, que en cristiano viene a ser el día de la iluminación de los apóstoles por el Espíritu Santo. Ahí es nada. Y el otro día celebramos la Ascensión del Señor a los Cielos. Lo de Múnich ha sido una incursión rápida de dos días al ... read more

So we've been having a GREAT time here in Europe! We are back to Berlin after a stay in some other countries. From our first stay in Berlin we headed to Amsterdam and Brussels. Amsterdam was exactly what you would think...or at least what we thought it would be. Lots of peeps in to smoke pot and see some boobs. There are other things to do there but we got that vibe when we entered the door to our hostel and checked in. While we were waiting we noticed a crackhead in the corner getting high. He was alreadz prettz blitzed and lighting it back up. His face was covered in scabs like someone had it with taking his crap and beat the crap out of him about 3 days earlier. He was some college kid ... read more

Phill, Katy, and I went to Schwetzigen a couple weekends ago. It was very cool. It is one of the largest castle gardens in Germany, especially the south. It has very many passageways and areas to cut through. It was very cool. We did a tour of the castle as well, but no pictures allowed inside. It was fun, but a little hard to understand everything he said. It was good to go through though. Good times were had by all! We also found a place to eat lunch in; it was a secret hidden place because we werent sure if we could eat there or not. We had tons of fun.... read more

I finally met up with Heather after my long ride to Munich. I got off the train and walked in the 30 degree heat and snow to finally meet up with Heather in the lobby of the hostel. After her original 3 day plan, I finally met up with her 6 days later. We met some kids in our room and headed to the most famous Biergarden in all of Munich. We all had liter beers and pretzels and stumbled back home via the Metro at like 2. The next day, we got up, checked out, stored our stuff in the luggage room of our FINAL hostel (minus one day in Rotterdam) and headed out for a 4 hour walking tour of the city. We saw the Glockinspiel, the New and Old CIty Halls, the church ... read more

Memorial Day weekend we decided to go to southern Germany to visit the Bodensee or Lake Constance, as it is also known. The Bodensee is a large lake, the 3rd largest in Europe, which borders Germany, Switzerland and a tiny portion of Austria. The lake is 40 miles long and 8 ½ miles wide. Bodensee loosely translates to “bottom lake” as it lies at the bottom of Germany. We stayed at a very nice gasthof (hotel) in Neuravensburg, Hotel Landgasthof Mohren, just a few miles north of the Bodensee. What was nice about the hotel was that it had an indoor pool and sauna, although I never did get the sauna to work correctly. The pool was great place to relax after spending the day walking around Lindau. The hotel served a very nice German breakfast, ... read more
