Let's hope a job comes from one of them!

Dusseldorf. (yes, there are still more to come)



in the brussels train station on my way back to germany i spotted this. i am convinced it is the world's largest vending machine. you could buy anything from beer and cheese to toilet paper and pepto-bismol.


we enjoyed such a beautiful sunny day, i'm not sure why Christoph was still wearing his jacket


i wonder what the inside of this place looks like


we went up this tower, all the while in the elevator i was being solicited to be a slave wife by a beer breathed indian man


you get great views because of the window angles


neat


but i was surprised to see sheep in the middle of the city


i really want this knife stand


to go with this awesome sink


wonderful old town square


golf clubs in the recyle bin?


fooooooooooooore!


really, i wasn't looking for it, it found me


remember that candy lipstick?

I dropped off my bike yesterday morning to get repairs. Breaks were screwed, shifter was broke and my back wheel was bent. I just got the call that she'll be ready for pick up after 5 today! She's a jem and I can't wait to start riding to work again. The guys at the shop were impressed with her, guess it's been a long while since they've seen a classic schwinn. Now the weather just has to stay cooperative :)

p.s. more europe photos tomorrow

In this cluster...Koln, Brussles and some place in the Netherlands.



took the train from weisbaden to koln


beautiful scenery all the way


i stayed with my friend elisa


the most famous cathedral in germany, dom zu koln


this train station vending machine was full of printer cartridges, just in case you REALLY HAVE TO HAVE ONE RIGHT NOW!


i also met up with my friend christoph and the first thing i did when we stopped to have a beer was knock over this cafe table and all the chairs and everything on it....charming and classy


lots of narrow winding streets in the netherlands, it was almost a bit creepy, especially once i can show you a video i took while there


even the mannequins are creepy


everybody, and i mean everybody, rides bikes there


probably to work off all these fries- they are everywhere


i took another train to brussles but was never able to contact my friends


i had to look up a youth hostel but they were full...this is me waiting and wondering if i'll have to sleep in the train station or get lucky and snag someone's cancellation


even if i had to sleep in the train station it would have been kosher cuz i'm cool like 'danger girl'


but i got lucky and then ended up with this lovely view


i checked out the atom thingy


which i think looks cooler at night with a little play on the camera


and just for fun
