Why Hello there, It’s that time again for everyone who is interested to read my travel stories again, this time it’s been an intense struggle to find the time and place to actually sit down and type it all out and I doubt I’ll get it all done today which is a dire shame indeed. This journal will document my last 14 days in the USA and at the bottom I shall list all the great bits and then all the shitty bits that have shaped my adventure thus far. Sitting here in Germany in a lazy Country town, it seems like the best place to remenise (sp?) and throw stones. Without further verbal diareah, let us begin.

If you ever get the chance to go to Niagra, then do it, cos its honestly worth it.
