So London was great. In the last couple days I got a chance to finish up seeing the sights and go to dinner with an old friend from Cape Town. It was great. Dinner with Tom was a blast. It was so nice to have a break from being a tourist and seeing the city. We went out for a beer and a sausage and caught up on life. He is really doing well and was a great person to talk to about traveling as he has done so much. After dinner we went to a wine bar that was one of...

So it has been quite a while since I updated this thing. It has been really hard to get any internet access in the last week or so. I've been all over the place and WiFi is a lot spottier than I thought it might be. I would love to upload some pictures to this, but I really don't know when I can do that as i'm not getting access with the netbook (I'm at an internet cafe now). SO what have I been up to? Last week was spent with bodo and we had a great time. Koble...

So i am finally getting a chance to use the internet here in Koblenz! It has been a great time here. I met up with Bodo on saturday.

I got here around 3 in the afternoon and it was rather surreal. As I got off the train I was thinking, I am going to see bodo in a couple of minutes. It has been so long since we last...

The more time I spend here the less I'm interested in this town. it is a very modern town and one that has a large focus on shopping, oh how it thrills me. I would say that the only draw for foreigners would be the fact that both Porsche and Mercedes-Benz are based here. Other than that I would say it's a skip on the list of places to visit. At any rate, being a car freak...

Day 1These day's are always a mixed bag. You are nerveous/excited/scared all at the same time. When I got up on tuesday morning in Newport it was like any other day. Dad woke me up to breakfast and I heard mom wrestling around to get to work. It was just like when I lived at home, but today was going to be a whole new experience. Got in the car with dad and drove to portland to make my flight. We made good time and I made it through security without my coler bone...
