... in that cabin. Thanks to a little help from a sleeping pill, I was out cold after the first hour and woke up only because the girl above me steped on me when we arrived in basal. Thank god for that or who knows when I would have woke up. Through connecting trains we got to a town called lausen. A friend of dannys family lives there. Vernon lived in stoon in the late 1960s and has remained good friends with dannys family ...

... gave us a lot of information not on the signs and plaques next to the paintings. It took us about two hours to go through the collection with the guide as a companion. It was a really great exhibit; very informative and interesting. We learned a lot about Van Gogh during our time there and it was so cool to see how is talent progressed over time, along with his mental instability.

After the exhibit and mom ...

... que frontalier, les bâlois rechgignent clairement à parler Français, me prenant pour une Suisse qui ne fait pas d'effort. Ce n'est qu'en parlant de Sud de la France que j'arrive à faire admettre mes lacunes en allemand et à discuter avec la dame du Musée Juif, seul Musée de Bâle ouvert le lundi. Et bien sur. faire avant de repartir sur ...

Arrivée à Mulhouse dans l'après midi après 7h00 de train assez éprouvant, ça fait plaisir de retrouver des amis pas vus depuis longtemps. Visite de la vieille ville de Mulhouse le Samedi, la Ville est Assez industrielle, ce n'est aps encore l'Alsace de Carte ...

... course drinking stations and small tented dance "clubs".

Most of the way you didn't really have to walk as you got pulled along in the current of bodies. We eventually got to the square next to the church where there was a little more room to maneuver and delicious food to sample. We checked out all the little African shops and stopped to watch cooking displays and mini dance routines.

... would pray before a battle, and I suppose give thanks after if they were in the condition to. That was pretty cool. It was at the bottom of a slope in the middle of a privately owned field covered in cow patties. It was like a mirage; crumbling stone pillars and massive bricks rising above the steamy grass in a meadow that seemed never ending.

After that we really could not handle any more heat so we headed back to the blissfully cold car and made our way home.

... in warmer weather the picturesque riverbanks provide the perfect spot to picnic on the goodies you picked up at the market. In the summer, many of the locals take their trunks and swimsuits to work and have a quick dip in their lunch hour!

... back. In Basel I board on the direct train to Moscow. Thing is you don't board on train that will take you to Russia, as soon as you step in you ARE in Russia. 3 tired and depressed soviet looking controllers are waiting for me at the door, that would only speak Russian and look at me and my massive backpack with supsicious eyes. The train itself probably dates back from soviet time with classy pale green seats and walls ...

Lühikese teekonna all mõtlen seda, et peale seda, kui suur Prantsusmaa on seljataga, tundub pisikese pangrikka riigi ühest otsast teise sõitmine käkitegu ja üldse mitte väsitav, alustades just liikluskultuurist. Kui Prantsusmaa liiklus on üsna närviline ja olles roolis või mitte, peab ikkagi aeg-ajalt võpatama, sest närvikõdi tekitavad eriti lollid olukorrad, mille peale ...

... coffee, then Peter took us to the pick-up spot. We didn't have a chance to find a WC before our ride appeared. We piled in, quickly thanking Peter for his surprise gift of Toblerone. Our driver got quite lost trying to leave Berlin, but, 40 minutes later, we were auto-bahning. We began a conversation with our driver, who spoke brilliant English, discovering that he is ...
