LONDON

London was wonderful. It sucks that it's virtually impossible to get there with the Eurail system, but it was definitely worth the extra money. We got to do a lot of things that I wanted to do which was good for a change (Phantom of the Opera, London Dungeon). Also by the time we got there the heatwave was dying down and it's farther north so it wasn't hot, which was amazing. London has the best public transportation, hands down. The tube is so convenient and pleasant to use. Our hostel was pretty cool, although we were on the 5th floor and there were no elevators. The only drawback is that it's a very expensive city to stay in.

Don't say I didn't warn you :(

I took a picture of this last year too- but it pleases me immensely

Asians on a lion at Trafalgar square!

Big Ben and Parliament

Saint Something-or-other's

The pubs all had cool names...the Iron Horse was painted bright red!

See?

Rah at Picadilly Circus AKA Huge advertisements

In the British Museum...a globe from the 1500's or something

War Museum...we did not go there

Roomies!

A really weird poster for the Tour de France

This wasn't Tower Bridge OR London Bridge so I have no idea where I am

GLOBE THEATRE!!!! Yayyy!

---------

BRUSSELS

I have embarrassingly few pictures from Brussels. Like...two. It was a really nice city though. We didn't do much during the day- I needed to shower like CRAZY and I was a bit under the weather. During the day we went to a movie theater and saw Pirates of the Caribbean...with dutch subtitles! because we couldn't check into our hostel yet. Which was amazing, by the way. We got complimentary shampoo and conditioner and our room was soo clean and we had our own bathroom which was also wonderfully clean. Or maybe the place just seemed so good after the dirty place in London. Anyway, that night we ate dinner at a pretty authentic belgian place, i guess, and then we went walking around the shops. I got really drunk by the end of the night but stupid Brussels doesn't have regular payphones so I couldn't call Leo. I emailed him instead and then went to sleep in my gorgeous soft clean bed.

AMSTERDAM

Once again, only a couple of pictures. I was sort of losing interest at this point. Not in the trip but in the taking pictures part. Also this was only a couple days before I would see Leo so I had more important things on my mind. It was raining when we got there and the train station was FULL of backpackers. Amsterdam is a very popular spot for them, can you guess why? Anyway it took us awhile to find our boat hostel and when we got there it was TINY. Like, we had trouble fitting everything in there. It was crazy. The first night we were there...my ATM card wasn't working at that point so we looked for an ATM for awhile but I just ended up using my last travelers check. We ate at a chinese place for some reason then walked around and looked at some shops, but then it started raining again so we ducked into a movie theater. When we came out it was still raining. I got some pommes frites and they got rained on as we made our way back to the tiny boat hostel.
The next day we got up fairly early to go to the Rijksmuseum:

It was pretty interesting, I actually enjoyed it. Plus I got my Nijntje shirt, which looks somewhat like this-

Then we went to the Van Gogh museum and by that time I was kind of tired of art. Later, after checking into our new hostel (which was full of stoners) we went to another museum. And I didn't want to spend 14 euros on more art so I sat outside. That night was awesome. We walked around for awhile then we went to a coffeeshop where my brother smoked a joint. I probably should have but oh well. Then we went to Boom Chicago where we got seats right in front of the stage, which proved useful because I eneded up getting two free beers! The walk home was fun. I think I called some people that night.

Amsterdam was awesome. In conclusion:

Now it's September.

Today Logan spit up on my shirt and then rubbed it in with his forehead. It was seriously impressive, like he planned it or something.

Then Vickie and I improvised soup and watched Brick.

God damn, I was tired earlier...why can't I sleep now?

VENICE

My camera ran out of batteries here...but enjoy these two pictures

I'll stop here because it's taking about 10 minutes to upload a single picture now. Fucking ridiculous slow internet. Part two comes as soon as we start getting our moneys worth again.

I am back in beautiful Winston Salem.

I want to apologize for hardly sending any postcards. I really meant to, but my second batch got soaked when we were caught in the rain in Amsterdam, so that's that.

I am so tired but I don't really want to sleep.

American payphones suck incredibly.

SOOOOOoo we§re in Venice now. this keyboard is even whacker than the one in Munich.

The first couple of days here pretty much sucked. Our hostel was fucking hot and I couldnàt sleep, and there werenùt any cool people. The only people who were there were mostly German high schoolers.

Last night was sooooo fucking amazing. I miss Salzburg already. I met some awesome people and had a great time, it sucks we were only there for one day. But the good thing is I°M AN HONORARY STEELE!!! hahahaha. Around 9 I headed down to the bar, and chaos ensued from there, I think Coe was the best part. Matt and I came back to the room around 1- and I didnàt get top sleep uintil four because he was showing me sentimental pictures. He has a three month eurail pass and heàs just doing whatever the hell he wants, so he might meet up with us when we get back to Germany.

Venice is ok. Itàs too fucking hot here and our hotel is godawful. Iàd much rather stay at a fun hostel lik Yoho and sleep in a room with like 15 aussies than be at this place. And to get to a computer I had to go through this sketchy-ass alley° youàd think theyàd have child laborers back here or something.

Iàm so tired. I got up at 5:30 this morning. I donàt want to go to fucking museums tomorrow. GAH.

OK.

I'm heading off to Europe in about a week and a half. If you want me to send you a postcard, comment with your address and, if you like, where I should send you a postcard from. I will screen everything so you're not setting yourself up for stalkers or whatever.
