Hello all, well i am actually in Paris but i get so behind with writing. Again, thanks toi all for keeping up with my blog, it really is amazing to see the number of hits and motivates me to share more. well, like i said, in paris, extermely sad to say goodbye to the happiest place on earth, yet i assure you, in the words of our famous governator who was all over the news and media in austria becuase of his recent birthday, I'll be back.

We made one quick stop in brussels to break up the train ride to paris. it was a three hour ride and naturally included getting lost, stressing out a bit about making the train, since we waited for a tram thatwas never coming because of the pride festivties had closed off the plaza. anyway, we were both a bit grumpy by the time we got there, oh yeah, the room was flooded so the hotel sent us to their sister hotel, after we had been walking alot and were nice and sweaty, but once we got settled in and went out we found a nice restaurant where we enjoyed mussels and fries which is a typical belgium meal, and then we bought some marvelous chocolates at a shop and sat in this huge plaza where the town hall (i forget, damn amsterdam) and the hotel deville (museum) is. this palace is so impressive and huge, the guide book calls it one of the most impressive in europe. anyway, it must of been near midnight and the plaza was filled with locals and tourons sitting on the cobblestone either drinking and eating, and of course smoking. btw, i need to invest in tobacco stock, causeevery country ive been too, they love their tobacco. today we visited the royal palace some gardens and the mannekin pis, which i will include the pics. IUf you dont know that is the statue of the baby taking a leak. of course, baby boy alex has a new t shirt coming with a baby boy taking a leak. I want to encourage all to piss outdoors like my baby boy likes too!!

Anyway, today we hopped on the train, and in 1 1/2 hours, were in PAris. Visited notre dame, oh, ill tell you more later. LaterS!!!
