People from the west of Germany know how to pound beers. Biiiiig time. They also like to eat sausage, watch football, and talk about eating sausage and watching football. We stayed at my friend Christoph's apartment in Aachen, even though he had already moved out. It was a pretty good deal. It was great to see some friends I haven't seen in a while...like these guys here!
...and make some new ones, like this giant specimen yonder:
Christoph's family is awesome. His dad and I can have long conversations even though he doesn't speak a word of English. He may have kicked my ass at arm wrestling.
How many people have you known that have done this? My body is in Germany and my gut is in Belgium. I just had a full load of Belgian Fries (the French lie!) and I was a bit full. Wicked awesome.
We took a day trip to Amsterdam, and we were absolutely blown away by the bike culture. We were expecting a ton of bikes, but it was ridiculous! Check out the picture...there are at least 5,000 bicycles in the background. Every single structure has at least 2 dozen bikes locked to it. They have multi-level parking garages for bikes. You get the idea. I thought Portland was bike-friendly...but we've got a loooooooooooooooooooooooooong way to go. (ed. note: Amsterdam is completely flat, so that helps.)
Ok...more stuff:
We hung out at a football hooligan clubhouse!
Did ballet inspired stunts!
...and had a blast during the last few days of our trip. Thanks so much Stout and family. We had a great time. We're bummed out to be leaving Europe, but our time has come.
Next Stop, U S of A!
