Stories of a Traveler

Posts have not been updated for a while, my apologies. Let me start today’s post with one very simple song. Feel free to sing along!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR KEARN, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!! I WISH YOU A WONDERFUL DAY AND I wish I were their! Love your youngest daughter!

Let me continue my post with some things that I left our about my previous trip across the Atlantic and through London. Firstly, when I went on the ship, their was a caravan of migrating Amish people making a journey across to Europe for vacation. One day, when I was laying on th3e back promenade tanning and enjoying the sunlight, an Amish man sat down in the close proximity of me. He started conversing with the man next to him about the man’s electronic device. He had the “kindle”, an electronic book that holds many stories all in this one little device. He was so fascinated by it. As I was eavesdropping, his wife walked by and he called her over. Look that this strange device, he told her with an awed expression. They looked like two scientists who had just discovered a new species. It was like a foreign object not known to man. The owner was very kind and explained how it worked to them, and you could tell their fascination grew even more.
The second incident involved a woman at the Brussels Midi train station. As I was waiting for the train, I approached a Swiss women and asked her if this was the right platform, and it was. I sat down next to her and by came a women who caught my attention. She was a heavy set black women who was dressed in a what looked like a polyvinyl tablecloth, one of those disposable ones you use at birthday parties. it appeared as if she had just wrapped it around her. This outfit must have cost at most 2 Euros. Maybe she came from a wet climated area of the world, after all, her clothes were waterproof! Sometimes you come across the strangest things while traveling.
As we passed into Passau, a man can onto the train with a bike that a clapped together. It was awesome. Apparently it’s a growing trend in Europe. I guess they are good for traveling. Thought you all might find that interesting.
I forget to mention in my London posts that the Brits seem to really like clocks. When I was on the tour bus going around London, ever 2 minutes I saw a clock on the side of a building. If your late to work or school and say you lost track of time, it is such an obvious lye because in London, it is damn near impossible to lose track of time. They have such an abundance of clocks, I actually found it quite handy, after all, my cell phone wasn’t working, so when I needed to know the time, I just looked up and saw it hovering over me.
Last night we went to the Sonnwendfeur. It was a nice fire, but the temperature is so bazaar. Its late June and Austria should be hot by now, but that’s not the case. This past weekend it actually snowed up the higher parts of Austria. Yesterday night I froze my ass off, it was like I was in f***king Alaska. I had long sleeves on, and a wool jacket…IN JUNE! I think its time to turn the temperature up!
So yesterday, Eva, Oma and I went over to the museum. Of course Eva didn’t want to pay full price for all of us, so she said to go over to Oma and sit on the bench with her. I did so. Eva then went to the cashier to buy tickets and told her that I was Oma’s caregiver, so Oma and myself both got in for free! HAHAHA, now we have to start taking Oma to exhibits with us!!!

Today Leon played hooky from school and showed me around Wien. We sat by the Danube for a while and just relaxed, it was really nice. Wish Kearn would have been their. It was a perfect place to spend your birthday. LOVE YA and take care, Sas <3
