The Adventure So Far . . .
So far Germany has been a blast, with a few highs and lows. The high so far was spending two days in Prague, which is just a breath takingly beautiful city. Seriously, there's something that just comes over your mind when you walking aboutin streets thousand of years old, and seeing Gothic architecture that's older than the country you live in. It's real history, one that can be felt and touched. I do confess, that I am a Eurorat at heart.

Before that, it was mostly hanging out with the family. My brother lives in a small little miliatary housing complex in Germany. It is at least a good one hour ride to anywhere relevant, so the time was a little slow. I love my family, but I can take only so much screaming baby, paranoid parents, and siblings who know every button to push on your soul. I was beginning to feel a little claustrophobic.

Luckily, we're actually on the sight seeing portion of the world tour now, which is immeasurably better. Today I'm going to Nurenburg, and then for the next three days, I'll be in Munich. We're going to see mad king Ludwig's castle, see the sights and sounds, maybe do some WWII stuff, and just have a good ole time.

I haven't found my fraulein just yet, but I did meet a nice Czeck girl in the club on Tuesday night, so that's not bad so far yet. We'll see how New Years pans out.

The one big thing I realized is that I left my cell phone at home. Now I did this on purpose, since I can't use it in Europe, and I didn't want to risk losing it. However, I forgot to arrange a ride from the airport for when I get back. Since O'Haire is notorious for delays, I didn't know what time I would be getting into Los Angeles on the 3rd, which would vary who I asked for a ride from. And I don't know anybody's cell phone numbers by heart. The only one I know is my home phone, so I just have to hope that Kira or Adam will be able to give me a ride when I know what time my plane is getting in.

Everything is a blast so far, and I hope everyone is having a good holiday season and is looking forward to New Year's.
