Hey uncle Tom. I'm in Copenhagen now just to let you know. Ok, Meaghan posted but left out the past few weeks. To start, we've both been extremely busy. After Italy we headed to Vienna to visit Harald, a guy my family hosted about a year ago. He was wonderful and showed us all around the city. He knew a ton about history and I think I learned more from him than anyone else. We spent three days there and during that time I decided Meaghan and I would both be better off going our separate ways. We went to Budapest together, but got in a little argument at the train station and went our separate ways to our hostels. Later that day when I was adventuring around I saw her and snuck up behind her and said hi. Budapest was very cool. I got the vibe of South America but in a European setting. I liked it a lot. Very laid back and pretty. I left the next morning to go to Munich. Munich was awesome. I couchsurfed (look it up if you don't know what it is, it's cool) and had a great time. The beergardens are heaven on earth. What more could anybody ask for? Delicious beer being served to you in 1 liter glasses by a girl with her bussoms popping out of her plaid, bohemian dress with um poppa music in the background. Munich also has a lot of history which seemed to relate in one way or another to beer. I also fed some ducks, rabbits and met a prostitute named Coco (we walked past the red light district to feed the rabbits and the same prostitute is there every night and she is known by the locals). Next, I headed to Prague. I got in at 11 pm and met up with Meaghan and her 3 Spanish boyfriends. We went out for a drink and then Meaghan left at 8 the next morning and from then on we've been on our own, so here's my striy since then. I had a nice stay in Prague but there's not much more for me to say than that. Well, one thing: walking around a former communist country late at night after a few drinks is pretty exciting, in other words, really scary. So after Prague I headed to Berlin. Berlin was very cool because everywhere I've been so far has had most of it's history from WWII and before where as Berlin is mostly WWII and since. Of was cook to see the Berlin wall, checkpoint Charlie and Hitler's bunker (which is now a parking lot). Berlin was very cool but I was in such a hurry to do everything. I went to Sachsenhausen concentration camp just outside the city. It was very interrsting and sobering, but not what I was expecting. It was a work camp, not an extermination camp. There is a big difference, as I found out. I then headed to Greifswald, Germany to couchsurf again. I stayed there for two nights with a really nice couple. It was a beautiful town with a lot of gorgeous wooden sailboats. Iwent to Rugen (an island on the north coast of Germany) and explored. I went to an amazing national park with giant cliffs made of chalk. It was very cool. I then went to the beach at Binz, which is a town on the island. I walked around and noticed that no child younger
than 5 had any clothes on. Then I saw a women without a top on (she was at least 75 years old). After I threw up a little I continued walking.
More and more topped women and only one was the slightest bit good looking. Then came the completely nude people. They were all old and frolicking in the sand. It was so disgusting that I couldn't look at sausages for days which is a problem when you're in Germany because they're everywhere. I think Rugen is where the nudist colonies are, but back on the woods and I had no interest in searching. Rugen is a lot like Cape Cod. The water is freezing, the people are very wealthy and everything costs a fortune (Cape Cod really is nice. Just making a joke. I don't mean to offend anybody). It is beautiful just like Cape Cod though. After my time in Greifswald I headed to Copenhagen where I am right now. The train ride was beautiful and the train drove onto the ferry to cross from Germany to Denmark. It was so cool. I'm couchsurfing with a guy who is an environmental teacher/planner/ campaigner. Denmark is awesome. I think about 80% of their energy comes from wind turbines. Tomorrow I'm going to explore the city by bike and hopefully not get shot (supposedly there has been a lot of shootings here). After that, I'm off to Sweden. Once again, sorry for writing so much at once, but I've just been so busy. I've barely slept. I'm running on pure adrenaline. I only have three weeks left and it's not enough time. There's so much to see. Time is our most precious resource and I'm sure feeling it. To compete with Meaghsn's Spanish boys, I do have to say that the girls up north are quite good looking. And I've heard they only get better looking in Sweden. Happy belated July 4th to everyone. Peace and enjoy.

I'm ok if you want to hand out my phone number and picture to any Swedish beauty. Couchsurfing???? Can we do it in Saratoga?
ReplyDeleteI particularly enjoyed your comment about sausages. Hope you're ok with them again.
