Traveling Solo

Hey,

It has been three weeks after my last post. Three weeks is a long time and too many things happened that I cannot possibly put into words. I will tell you that we left Amsterdam and traveled to Bruges. Bruges is a medieval city and is home to wonderful belgium beer, and if your dan, wonderful belgium ladies. It is arguably the best tasting beer in the world. As of now, I am under that impression. Try it and maybe you will agree with me and others. From there we stayed a night in Lille, France. We got stuck there on our way to Bordeaux. Lille is a place I would never travel to if I had a choice. To put it into perspective, it's a dump and it is full of gypsies that want to take your money. Everyone I talk to since, has a similar impression of the place. I had a first-hand experience with these gypsy people and they do not waste any time going into your pocket. Fortunately for me, they went for the wrong side (they went for the right pocket, my wallet was in the left) and I escaped unharmed. I found that running is helpful in this situation;) On the other hand, Bordeaux is a beautiful city. It is famous for wine and has a lot of medieval architecture. There is a lot to do there and if you get sick of the city it is only 1 hour away from a beach! If you get the chance, go there! You will not be disappointed.

I am not going to talk about the separation because I do not want to get into it. What is done is done. Dan and I are still friends. I will tell you though it was me that separated from the traveling duo (Dan). It just wasn't working out for me, so I left. Pretty much that is it.

I am great and doing well. I had a great time in Paris for three days, and am now in the great land of the Swiss. They do some things around here that the U.S. should look into. For instance, if your on welfare in Switzerland, you cannot just get the money. You have to work for it. What I mean is you have to clean telephone booths, pick up trash around the park, or other public services. I think its a lot better than just having people just sitting on there butts, doing nothing and getting pay checks. Anyways, that's just one example of the many great policies I have found here that I agree with.

This will be my last post. I have made a lot of plans for the next coming days, so I will not be around any internet. So no blog. Besides, it really is no longer josh and dan traveling europe;) The rest of my stories you just have to wait for. I promise you I won't forget the important parts. Cya soon, everyone. May God bless everyone! Enjoy your summer!
