Hallo again my long away friends, You find me in Germany today, and the first day I've had internet access for a week or so. It's 155 in Seattle, yet 1155pm here, it feels much later. Again, I won't flounder about too many words, details may hopefully arrive on here later, I'll just say Paris was great, though hardly seen due to it's vast size (though I'd say we saw the essentials). Amsterdam was next and was quite a pleasant surprise as I found it both hectic, crowded, and trashy in parts (this was not the surprise part) yet quaint, calm, charming, and beautiful in other parts. I fell asleep to steeple bells and a school choir (at one time singing Coldplay) and wandered the town with the millions (literally) of bicycles. Germany has been truly medieval. Koln one the Rein river was home to one gargantuin catherdral, a brilliantly old and creaky hotel and a pork knuckle as long as my forearm (yet wider...) which I devoured, in time, with sourcrowt and beer. Then Bacharach after a river cruise was just a dream town surrounded by castles, hills, vineyards, the rein again, and walls. We shared Ice wine with a lady recovering from a broken back who Praised God for her still living. I also stumbled upon an Irish folk concert at their local church. My favorite town thus far. Then after 4 train transfers and one bus ride through everyday Germany we landed in Rothenburg ob der Tauber (which you should google) for a truly mediavel town with fortress walls, remains of a moat, watch towers, houses from the 1400s and a nightwatchman who guided us through a history lesson. Now we're in Munich, which I know nothing about thus far. Stay tuned. Ta.

Deux.

Right now, I'm tired, quite. Paris has been interesting and uncomfortable, the internet forces this blogging website to French, sigh, oh the french. I miss London already. Let me show you.

One.

I'm Leaving London tomorrow. I'll post something of substance later. Heres a teaser though
