I'm going to Europe with Eric

Well… I really wanted to go back to Europe again, and this time I wanted to go to new places. My plans changed a few times, and went through a few variations. I was originally supposed to go with a former acquaintance, but that plan fell through just a few months before we were supposed to go. My buddy Eric from my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class was going to go on one of those bus tours, and he asked if I wanted to go with him. I told him that I’d go with him to Europe if we did it backpacking style in hostels n’ he said yeah.

Eric wanted to start out the trip in London, so we could see some sites, and visit a place he once lived a few years ago. We’ll take the high speed train over to Paris next, and go under the English Channel. After a quick trip to Paris we’re gonna head over to Belgium. This is where I really want to taste some of the best beers in the world. We’re gonna go to Brussels, and spend at least a day in a small town that Eric visited a while ago called Bruges. After Belgium we’re gonna head up to Amsterdam, and do what we do best up there n’ party. Hopefully we can sober up enough n’ take a night train over to Prague to have some of the best and cheapest beer around. To finish off our trip we’re gonna go to Munich and the world famous beerhalls.
