We went to the Anne Frank house. It was an experience that really put into perspective the dangers during The Holocaust. I remember having to read parts of Anne Frank’s diary in school when I was younger. I want to say as early as 5th grade or so. All I can say was at that …
We had a late night last night. We didn’t get back to the hotel until around 4:00 A.M. We found a good late night rock n roll bar and it was fun. Amsterdam is an incredible place. Clean, friendly, and good food. There isn’t really too many pan handlers and I haven’t seen a homeless …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Just about had four bottles of red wine at the same Enotecca we went to yesterday. You just can’t beat the view and the charcuterie plates are amazing. It’s well earned as we did do a real nice hike up a mountain that gave us a great view from above of the ocean and the …
After getting off the short flight from Rome to Sicily we rented our car. Matt had been interested in the seaside location of Cefalu. We were able to find it relatively easy, however, once we got further into the center it was a bit dicey. Now the roads in Ireland I’ve come to know as …
Currently, on our plane to head to Palermo. Matt has a car rental for when we get there so we can drive around and explore Sicily to the best of our abilities. Matt mentioned that Aleister Crowley has a home somewhere there. We may try to find it if we can. After dinner last night …
