Dresden
Hello again,This time that hello comes from Dresden, the capital of Saxony, biking distance (40 km) from the Czech Republic! Damn, Europe's itty-bitty!
Dresden is, apparently, the Palace Capital of the World, with more palaces than I can count on half a hand. If you don't know, Dresden was the subject of a terrible firebombing in the Second World War. To this day, if you utter the words firebombing at full volume in Dresden, people will flee for their lives to the many top secret underground fire-resistant chambers they have hidden around the city.
Anyway...
Dresden is also the Pretty Capital of the World, since all the palaces they have littered about the place were built in 1999 after decades-long reconstruction efforts following the...well, you know what. At any rate, they're all very spick and span and clean and shiny and lots of other adjectives with some conjunctions thrown in for only 5 euro extra.
So, we've stayed now with a grand total of three very nice Germans and one very nice Pole (i.e., Polish, not an inanimate column-like object), and as I write this I am sitting in the cool evening breeze above a quiet cobbled street on the balcony of a flat near the city centre. Where'd you write your comment? A basement?
So, enough gloating, let's drink some more wine!
L'chaim,

P.S: We've been taking so many PHOTOS, it's like we're having a PANTS PARTY, like, PRACTICALLY EVERY DAY. If you could, I'd ask you to CHECK OUT THOSE PANTS PARTIES REGULARLY.

Mind you, there is nothing about penises in that poem.

Jerome K. Jerome, Three Men on the Bummell. "When three late-Victorian gentlemen escape from their claustrophobic suburban life to go on a cycling tour in the Black Forest of Germany, their trip turns into a comic expedition. Many of their humorous adventures and mishaps relate to the nuances in language and customs; one attempts to board a train unconventionally to avoid German procedures; when riding the tram in Dresden one butts and rolls into German passengers who, being familiar with the route know how to brace themselves and don't see the humor, the dull lot; another tries to buy his aunt a cushion and gets angry after he pays for it because he gets only a kiss from a young girl instead. Three Men on the Bummel is one of the most popular classics in English comic fiction." side-splitting stuff for 1900! Looks like you're having some of your own...cheating on eurail pass indeed!
Wow, beautiful place...
Since everyone seems to have pulled out an arbitrary quote for today's comments, let me say only thus...
"Hey, pretty girl, did you go to college?"
The Brothers Bing and Bong, 1973
