This part of Germany really isn't that cool, I wish I could head to Oktoberfest but the best deal I could find was one night in a 40 person dorm room for 40 Euro. Apparently you have to book a stay in Munich well in advance for this time of year.
Yes, Fernando is most definitely a little light in the loafers, but by all means a harmless and well intentioned fellow. And I should clarify that he wasn't "showing me around" Paris, he didn't know that the F was going on either. A city like Paris is just much less intimidating when you aren't alone -- when you aren't the only one that the shop owners are hating. Though I probably would have enjoyed Paris more if I was with someone that wasn't complaining so much.
He's flying home tomorrow, and I'll be heading to a town called Dresden in eastern Germany for 4 nights. It looks like that will be a really cool town actually, and only a 2 hour train ride from Prague.
I do sometimes wonder what the hell I am doing out here. On one hand, travelling pretty much consists of hanging out with people and walking a lot. I'm not sure if that is all that I want to accomplish in my life right now lol. But on the other hand, I do feel like a much different person than when I left. It is honestly hard to imagine that I was living in Camas just 2 weeks ago.

Wow, I can't believe it's only been 2 weeks! It seems like you have been gone a lot longer. Good thing you have this blog to keep us posted. It has been really cool reading about your travels, even the fruity ones. =D Just kidding of course.
You should definitely post some more pics when you have the time too. Even if you have some from the boring places. I know I haven't ever been to Europe (unlike the rest of the family), and it's pretty cool seeing where you've been.
On another note, everytime I climb, Keelee thinks I am going with Uncle Daniel. I think she misses you a bit, so next time you call, make sure you remember to tell us to put her on the phone so she can say hi.

Btw...
"Sprechen Sie Englisch" is the polite way and
Sprichst du Englisch? the informal for "Do you Speak English" throughout Germany
As for Italy: "Parla inglese?"(formal) works anywhere and
"Parlet l'ingles?" preferred in the Northern parts.
(All according to http://tinyurl.com/h2pcv)
...Of course... if they do speak any English worth a $#%^! they should be able to understand "Do you speak English?"
:)
Its good to see that you are makeing new friends...just be sure that they want to see Europe through the same back door that you do:)
