T minus 2 hours until I consume the truffles I purchase. The woman recommended eating and then waiting 2 1/2 hours before consuming them. I purchased a kind called Dragon Slayer. We are currently at a bar in the red light district and are planning to go to the prostitution museum. I’m guessing by the …
Amsterdam is off to a good start and I haven’t even indulged in a coffee shop or grabbed truffles yet. Beautiful city with a bunch of canals. Surprisingly, as complicated as it looks at first, I think I can navigate pretty well around here. We had a good dinner and there are so many places …
On the train to Amsterdam. I’m looking forward to a few days here. I think I’m starting to beat out this head cold. I picked up some decongestant pills at the pharmacy yesterday. The Hemingway Special drink I had at the cafe was good but expensive. Probably a good thing because if they were a …
Currently sitting at Les Deux Margots, a famous cafe that was frequented by the likes of Pablo Picasso and Ernest Hemingway. We actually ordered a drink aptly named the Hemingway Special. We saw the Eiffel tower today as as well as Jim Morrison’s grave. Unfortunately, Matt told me someone had stolen the headstone. That was …
Jason and Matt went out and I decided to stay in for the night. Ever since we arrived in France I have had my left ear plugged up and I feel all congested. It sucks because it’s run me down which is why I opted to stay behind. It’s my attempt to try to rest …
All is good now. What a shit show it ended up being for us to catch the hi speed train. Couldn’t buy tickets at a fucking ticket booth! The guy told us to go to a certain website to procure tickets. For some reason it wouldn’t take Jason’s card. Thankfully, it worked with Matt’s. Thus …
Ok, so I am diverting off of my journal entries just because I want to give my opinion on a story in the news that has been going on. The story is about a lady who had recently flown and she recorded the passenger behind her hitting her seat because she had reclined back. She …
Yet again my sense of direction fucking fails me. I ended up taking the “scenic” route back to the hotel tonight. I had a brief blowout with my brother regarding the train to Paris tomorrow. We can catch one that is at around 8:30 in the morning and takes 3 hours or be fucking bums …
Currently sitting with Jason and Matt as they eat some oysters. I had a glass of champagne. We are seated outside and it’s a beautiful day as we sit by the port. Matt also ordered a couple of sea urchins. He told me try some. I refused at first but then he made a good …
Currently on our flight to Marseille, France from Palermo, Italy. During the day we went to some ruins. Segesta Ruins to be precise. It’s amazing how some of the things from back in the B.C. times still stand. There was some staging holding some of it up so they are trying to preserve it. It …
