Unpostable

My pictures that is. I haven't found a good internet place with USB accesible for my uploading of pics so I haven't for a while. Well but for those trying to keep track I'm heading to Prague today. I'm in Dresden now and came from Berlin where I was a couple of days taking in the many histories that unfolded in that city, and before that (temporally and historically) Waimar where the republic was signed in some time ago before the nazis and soviets came in the picture. Before that I was in Cologne in western germany and of course thats where the last post dropped us off. Hopefully I'll be able to post soon, take care!

I had such an awesome time in Bouillon, I can't believe no one knows about this place. But its the people, not the places that I'll never forget. This couple shared their house and their lives with me and it was really a marvelous experience. If only there was a way of finding people like them in every town I visit!

At the very top of the fortress in Bouillon we find Nick, perched with camera in hand. This was the home of Godfrey, leader of the first Crusade.

Ranking as one of Europe's mightiest at the time this Citadelle is, even by Roman standards, quite huge. It lies in the capital city of the french speaking region of Belgium: Wallonia.

Possibly the stupidest thing to take a picture of in Brussels is this statue, and no one in their right mind should waste their time visiting it. Yeah so just so you recognize it heres the picture.

At the little town of Ghen there isnt terribly much to see, but there was the SMAK museum, deffinetly a must see in the Nick guidebook to things no one tells you about.

This guy was all about putting visuals and audio together, but i just wanted to make one of my own ;)

Ok after suffering much with the posting of pics to the blogger thing, I´ve now applied the Flickr technique, in which I put all of my pictures over there and tell you about them over here. Whatta ya think? I can blog straight from over there and I get that cool picture bar thing over on the right (those are all my pictures being shown). How cool is that?!

<- Oh yeah and that´s a nice rembrandt :)

In Wageningen

So I´m in Wageningen right now, staying with my friend Ana who goes to school here. The town is quaint, with lots of farm, animals and of course, water canals. Everything is bikable, even the highways. As if that weren´t enough you can go to the national park and they´ll let you borrow a bike for free to roam around in! What a concept. Posted by Picasa

Now in Dutch!

So I´m on a trip; a mission if you will... to discover the coolness of the world!!! Ummm, yeah. Well anyway I have a couple of months on my hands and some places I still haven´t been too. I figured well, its time to travel some more. As my main-dawg Randy ¨Macho Man¨ Savage would say: Ohhhhhhhhhhh yeah!
This is my arrival at Paris CDG on the 29 of October, where I was all of 2 hours in the morning (6am) sippin´ on some hot chocolate and munching on a toasy croissant. That´s the life... but then onward to the low lands. Posted by Picasa
