So after Heidelburg, I made my way to Rothenburg, not too far away. Rothenburg is an old town surrounded by a protective wall. Sorry I can't tell you much about it, I ignored the nitty gritty details about the places I've visited, not that there was anyone to explain it to me nor were there an abundance of literature available in my language. My trip was really fast paced; get there, take pics, back on the train to the next place. A whole lot of traveling.
So here is a panoramic of the town right outside the walls in the park area. It's really nice. O and I pieced three pictures together in photoshop to make that panoramic shot, can you tell?
And to the left is me in the Market Place in the middle of Rothenburg. It's still pretty early in the morning, it got really busy with tourists towards the afternoon.
And to the right is me at the backyard of Hitler's hangout, the Eagle's Nest. I wanted to see this ever since watchin "Band of Brothers." It was one of my "to do " things in my life; that's a check off of that list.
And finally, the following three pics is taken in Paris, as if you can't tell. The first is the Eiffle Tower, big piece of good for nothing iron. There's a nice restaurant on the second level, but it's for special people only, not for us commoners. The French are rude by the way, so I left and had me a good o' American hot dog, and it was GOOD. The second is of a frontal of Notre Dame. The back is also pretty awsome too. The third is the Arch de Triomphe or something like that. The street in front of it is Elysee and it's really popular for shopping. A new LV building was in construction when I walked through, very tacky, building looking like a huge purse.
From Paris, I made my way to Amsterdam, pics aren't too intersting, and after two nights at a hostle's, which was new to me, I went back to Frankfurt to meet up with Steve and company. It was their turn to go on leave as mine was about to end. We hung out for two days and they moved on. I ended up watching two movies on my last day. Kingdom of Heaven and Unleashed. That's about the most relaxing time I had thus far. Back to the shit hole!

hey Derek, great to see you xanga-ing. Haven't heard from you in a while. Hope you enjoyed your time off and had time to relax. Waiting for your return to NYC, which should be soon right? Jen and I will be here to welcome you back!
Hi mister! Wow...when you travel....you REALLY travel. You saw Europe in one shot...pretty amazing. Your Photoshop talent is pretty good, I could never tell that the 1st photo was pieced together! You know what's kind of weird though...it looks like you photoshopped YOURSELF in all the pictures because the poses are all identical. It's okay though, I would take identicals of YOU any day. -=)
you gotta go find some random french chicks to take pictures with.
you've traveled, seen a part of the world and checked off one on your wish list. At least you've made some accomplishments in your life so far. now its time to pay your dues just to have a little fun. Take care.
