Wait... what?
I've read about it... I know I was going to do it... The Chunnel... I've been on planes, trains, subways, cabs, boats, bicycles, rickshaws and for the most part my feet... now... I'm going underwater...
I will never see the age of 28.

The Trick... Part 2
So... The Louvre, Eiffel Tower, The Arc de Triomphe... all great little tourist spots and who doesn't want to see the Mona Lisa up close... Thank you very much Dan Brown... They had actual "The DaVinci Code" tours at 10 Euro... I passed... I think you can get decent Paris tour by just watching French Kiss...
off to London!

The Trick...
The trick to this city is to attempt a hello and a question in French... when they take over in English you say you're Canadian... but not from Quebec... you say that and the jig is up.
one phrase my sister taught me when I was really young was "c'est la vie" (I think she was prepping me for my slightly cynical life...)

City Of Light!
Ah sweet Paris... so beautiful... so cultured... so... what the hell is that smell? Ah Public urination... They're so fancy out here...
Woher Kommst Du?
So yeah... it's been a little long since I threw out an update... Sorry ya'll! Quick Recap on my adventures thus far...
Prague took me on a train to Berlin... Met this amazing woman on the way named Gretta and we chatted the entire trip about life... mostly hers... lol, she had quite a few decades on me... I'll write more about her later as she might be my favorite part of this little walkabout... speaking of walking... why not walk it out?
Berlin is about where I find I can't get pictures off my USB... no worries I'll post them as soon as I get a card reader...
The city is gorgeous... My friend Reverend Rota credits Hitler for this... Debbie Downer who? It's actually stranger here than Amsterdam and Prague was... There I didn't have a clue what anyone was saying but after taking 4 years of German I could actually get around this city without much help. Bonus... Well Paris is waiting... I made a small change in plans not to go to Budapest and added Dublin instead. Also not taking a train to Paris as 16 hours of sitting will drive me to commit an act that will not allow me to leave the country for about 20 years... if that.
