Top of the World

Since it has been a week since I last wrote in the journal, you can imagine that I have not had that much time to write.  So, let me take a few m moments to write about all the things that I have been doing in the last week.  I don't know the days, so don't ask, but I will write about the events that I remember.  Lets start by leaving Prague.  It was a great and beautiful city.  After spending a great few days with ana we left for Berlin on a train in the afternoon.  A few hours later we arrived in Berlin, somewhat late at night.  We found our hostel, after being somewhat lost on the Sbahn, the Generator hostel.  It was huge, but after checking in things seemed to go alright, our room was pretty cool, and we fell asleep.  We woke up the next morning and just spent the day wandering around, and found a cool place to do tours.  Our roommate people came, another couple from Seattle.  The second day we woke up rather late again, although we went to bed earlier.  Ana kicked me out of her bed because she was having a bad dream, but at about 2:30 we went on a tour called Insider, it was freaking greeeeaaaatttt!  One of the best tours I have ever, ever been on.  We arrived back at the hostel at about 8:00 and went out to get a few drinks, well, just one and a half each, but they were big.  We got our drinks from a little place around the corner, and talked about all kinds of things.  We really are falling in love!  We fell asleep this night with the roommate people in the room, , again.  The next day we just spent wandering around everywhere, and we found Ana a new bag to mail her stuff and then mailed her stuff home. Super unfortunately one of these days we were on the train and accidently, " un " bought some short term tickets, with the local discount.  We didn't actually know that either of these were what has happening, since everything was in German.  We got caught though, and each fined 40 euros.  I had 65, and ana had none.  DAMN!  That was not so much fun at all, but oh well.  We mailed everything and jumped on a long night train to Brussels, and didn't really sleep at all the entire e way.  We arrived at six in the morning, and shortly jumped on another train for Bruges, another place just north of Brussels.  After arriving we checked into some hostel, it was soooo gross!  We slept for the afternoon, and then wandered around the town for like five or six hours.  Got lost a few times, visited a lot of the sights, everything was pretty cool.  This town is where the Holy Blood is kept, and is sort of an ancient town filled with tourists.  Cute though.  My parents should go there.  We woke up the next morning and eventually made our way to the train station, caught a train to Brussels and then Paris, and arrived in Paris.  We  wandered over to the metro and onto the train, to our hostel, and set all our bags down.  This first night we went out to the Eiffel tower, and cuddled underneath it.  I had seen it before, but never actually went up to it.  It rained, we got soaked and cuddled home.  Fell asleep.  The next day we woke up and wandered around some more... saw the Louve,We walked the Champs Esees, or however it is pronounced, and that took most of the day.  Went to the Arc de Triumph.  Eventually we went home and made dinner again, went to our room and cuddled and fell asleep.  The next day we woke up and wandered around a whole bunch more.  We went to l'Opera, Notre Dame, and actually went up the Eiffel tower this time.  Now we are sitting, the clouds are surreal, it is getting dusk, and ana is drawing the tower. Good times.
