3-24-13Airport security at Schiphol is backwards. They have all of the food before the security checkpoint so I bought water only to have to take it to the head at the check point. I am so irritated that security is right at the gate.Birds in Europe are way too vocal. Especially them sea gulls. Birds…

Eurotrip 2013: Last day in Amsterdam
3-23-13OMG Amsterdam is breaking me down with this cold. Went to the Anne Frank House today. Sad what happened to them. That shit was depressing. Went to the Red Light District. It was not as grand as I thought it would be. It’s pretty much alleys and gang ways with red lights. I felt uncomfy…
Eurotrip 2013: Paris to Amsterdam
Last couple of hours in Paris and I’m kinda bummed. Man, the roommate was taking an epic shower this morning. I was sitting around waiting for her to come out so I could wash my face and brush my teeth. I tried to go downstairs to the public restroom, but it was being cleaned. So…
Eurotrip 2013: Last day in Paris
3-21-13Took a nap and back at it again. Didn’t eat breakfast…ran out of time. Started off with Musee Rodin. Saw The Thinker…meh. The the rest of my group headed to see Princess Di and Dodi’s memorial. I finally bought stamps and mailed those postcards from London. We then went to the Arc Di Triomphe. It…
Eurotrip 2013: Kickin it in Paris
3-20-16What an amazing day. I started off with the Louvre. Saw the Mona Lisa, Winged Victory and Venus De Milo. Beautiful! I see how people can spend hours on end there. Just in the Denon wing the paintings are so vivid and the depth of field and action are breathtaking. I took photos of the…
Eurotrip 2013: From London to Paris
3-19-13Saw the White Cliffs of Dover. Bought myself a fancy lunch on the ferry boat. The presentation was nice, but everything needed more seasoning. I ordered the salmon appetizer. When I got it, it was raw salmon! I just forced myself to eat some of it. Couldn’t send it back. The English Channel is huge….
Eurotrip 2013: London Day 3
3-18-13What a day, what a day once more. Started off the day with Trafalgar Square then Big Ben and Westminster Abbey. Saw Isaac Newton’s tomb. Saw Charles Darwin, Frederick Handel and Lord Byron’s tombs as well. I have no clue what Lord Byron did, but for some reason I am aware of him. I know…
Eurtrip 2012: London Part II
3-17-13To quote Erykah Badu…what a day, what a day. We went to Stonehenge! On our way there is snowed!!!!! The British countryside is beautiful. I saw some big ass biscuits at the concession stand. Ends up it was a cheddar scone. It was ok. I also saw sheep grazing on the fields/hills near Stonehenge. AWESOME!!!…
Eurotrip 2013: LONDON
3-16-13 Day 1 was cool. Met some cool chicks from Philly, Miami, and Houston. I don’t like how the service industry is all people of color. Specifically it’s all Middle Eastern men. Went to Leicester Square in the pouring rain. I was drenched from the knees down….I had a small umbrella. It was jumpin’. UK…
Eurotrip 2013: Goin Places
10 hr and 5 min flight to London. It’s cool being on a big plane with 3 rows of seats like I see on TV. There is no one sitting in the middle seat so me and old dude got extra elbow room. This trip has me nervous. I made extra sure to tell everyone…
