05/12/2010 - Un Petit Check-In

Hey Tubers,

Long time no chat! I'm currently writing you all from my hotel room in Paris - life is good. Brian and I have been backpacking through Europe for a little over two weeks now. The list includes Barcelona, Aix-en-Provence, Cannes, Paris, and we leave for Munich tomorrow night. We still have the Netherlands, the rest of Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and possibly a visit to Prague somewhere in there.

Barcelona has been my favorite stop so far. Brian and I rented scooters for the day which was more fun than I ever imagined. We also rented these things called "Go Cars" (www.gocartours.com) which are essentially GPS-navigated scooters that you drive yourself through the city. Once you get over how goofy you look in them, they're actually a really nice way to see the city and get your bearings. They also gave me the confidence to later drive a scooter through the busy Barcelona streets. Also, those that know me know I'm a sucker for unconventional, alternative tour options (I was a Segway tourguide for a summer).

There is so much left to report, and just not enough time (nor space on my tiny iPod Touch keyboard). For those that are interested, I have TONS of unused footage from our days at LAMDA, so expect some kind of epic wrap-up feature to the tune of 10 minutes. Also, as per usual, I've been taking loads of pictures from my Eurotrip which I will be editing and posting promptly upon my return to the states on June 15th.

Until then, ciao.
