Home-coming

So, it is Sunday and I leave for home on Tuesday. I am getting very excited to be actually CLEAN for a change. These showers have been nice, but not the same feeling. I managed to change my friends minds and they are staying in San Sebastian for 2 days before they leave, but I think it is going to be cold and rainy.... OOOOOPPPSSS!!! I feel kinda bad, but warned them that since it is on the coast the weather is weird. Plus, any day in San Sebastian is better then Madrid, well, so far.

I have learned alot from this trip, mainly patience and when not to talk.
Weither it is the person who argues to argue, bitches to bitch; or that person who just wants to save a dollar on a meal because that restaurant is just around the corner, for 50 minutes of walking, just around the corner. Or if someone doesn't eat exactlly where they want to eat and then gets sours and pissy becuase he/she doesn't eat right then and there. PATIENCE!

Traveling for me will have a new look. I wont go from city to city, country to coutnry, but stay in a spot for a week at a time in the same country.
I hate to say it, but Italy wont be on my list to return for a while. Too expensive, a bit dirty and too many fucking SCOOTERS!

Looking forward to seeing/talking with friends and family in a few days. I am having to take another overnight train to Madrid. 13 hours on a train. After all my experiences on a train, I will have to say that the little 6 hour flight home, meh. Just a few songs, a good nap and a couple pages in my book away. Plus, I get free drink and the bathroom is free too!!

love you all

Happy Birthday to me?

Ok, so the train ride to Prauge was only supposed to be 6 hours. We are chugging along and all of a sudden, stop! Tick, tick, tick...
There was an accident a few miles up the tracks from us, delayed us 2 hours on the hot train. Which made us miss our next train.
What is the solution.... a cargo train to Prauge! Which toock another 2 hours, did I mention that it was a cargo train. We had to stand!
6 hours, light travel, turned into 10 hours of fun in the hot train sun! But it could be worse, while people were bitching on the train, I was thinking oh how that would have sucked to be on the one with the accident!

But Prauge is nice, prices are resonable and I think we are celebrating my Birthday tonight, while people actaully have Croons (Cech)... wish me luck.

4 L of beer...

Ok, I know it is a few days late, but we didn't have internet access in Munich, so it is from Prauge.
Munich was a great town, could have spent another full day there, but oh well... live and learn. Pretty much, our Munich trip can be summed up in my title.
The first night there, we all decided to go to the Hophbra House(buchtered the spelling but oh well). The beers were only 6.30E for a full Liter. Between the 4 guys, before hand we bought one of those "mini" kegs, 5l of beer. So, there was 1.25L a piece, then at the house, we had 3 beers, while Brandon had 4. Mind you this was in about 1 1/2 hours. What a fun subway ride home.
The next day, after we all got up ( around 2) We saw the Glock-en-shpeel, what a let down. HA, but then again, we still couldn't see straight and probably we still a little drunk....
