Welcome back to another story from a family cross country trip across the U.S.A. It was 1990 and I was 8 years old. It only took me 30 fucking years to finally decide to write about my memories from it. Anyways, on to the tale today. I literally do not remember anything from Salt Lake …
When I was 8 years old, I was fortunate to be the beneficiary of one of my father’s dreams. That dream being to go on a cross country trip across the United States. My father had been working for himself as a builder for 8 years at that time and had managed to save enough …
Close to the end of the road now. Currently on a flight to Munich for our layover and then the final flight back to Boston. I was forced to check my backpack prior to boarding the plane. Hopefully it arrives in Boston. I wish we had a bit more time to spend in Copenhagen as …
Well, not a whole lot experienced last night. Jason had abruptly gotten sick and we headed back pretty early. We ended up staying up late and watching the Super Bowl. Congrats to the Chiefs, but the 49ers ultimately lost due to some poor coaching decisions in my opinion. Today we walked around the city most …
Copenhagen is a beautiful so far. We are staying at a nice hotel near the city center. It’s right by the water. Out behind the hotel is a huge wharf. There are a line of triangles you can walk through. It’s probably roughly 200 feet and as you walk through a voice emanates from it …
On the train heading to Copenhagen. Apparently, saturday night a lot of shit goes down in the Reeperbahn district of Hamburg. All night long and even into the early morning I heard sirens going off. It was crazy. It made me wonder what was going on out there for it to be that active. They …
Just got back after dinner. The place we wanted to eat at was fully booked but the woman was nice to direct us to another Indian restaurant down the street. I had chicken tikka masala. It wasn’t as good as Tulsi but it was ok. Jason had chicken vindaloo and I had a little of …
Hamburg has been a pretty drab visit overall. All of us haven’t been feeling the greatest. The Air BNB we are staying at is a shit hole. There’s no elevator and it’s 5 floors up a spiral staircase. It’s also poorly insulated so it gets chilly easy. We had lunch earlier by the harbor and …
Arrived in Hamburg yesterday afternoon. It’s a big city similar to how Paris was. The people have seemed friendly but it’s a dirty city. Trash on the streets and once again we have come across dog shit on the sidewalks. Matt stayed in as he was still feeling ill. Jason and I went out and …
On the train heading towards Hamburg. It is actually the second train, as we had to switch to another in order to get there. Matt is now also sick. It’s a little alarming seeing how all we’ve been hearing about on the news is this damn Coronavirus. I don’t think that’s what’s going on though. …
