well i feel like a stranger on our own blog... thats a problem.
so i was just about to write jake an email and then the blog popped into my head and i figured i might as well post whatever i was going to write on here so all of you can know what is happening.
I left Newark airport on the 3rd and got into Stockholm bright and early the next morning. I got onto Arlanda Express train into the citycentre, which was an unbelievable experience in of itself. trees were literally flying by. the shit was so fast. on the train i met some journalist from the states and we talked for a while and then all of a sudden, 2o minutes later i was in STOCKHOLM!!! on the plane over i sat next to a married acouple, one of whom was from stockholm, so she gave me some advice on what to do for the few hours i had there. the highlight, besides the plessure of just walking around aimlessly, was the Ostermalms Saluhall indoor market and checking out some of the archetecture in the old city, although there is great archetecture everywhere.
and then back to the airport to pass out for a few hours before my next flight to paris to meet up with jonah and anjali. that went seamlessly. Paris is pretty cool, all though i havent explored that much yet. today we took a train out to Chantilly. which is a subburb of paris, about 20 min. north of the city. we walked around a bit, bought some bread and tomatoes, mozzarella, and avocado, and two bottles of wine and sat outside the chateau and feasted. i did some juggling too, which i have really been enjoying, and getting better at cough cough. we then got snuck back on the train into paris.
at this point, i am trying to figure out how i am getting up to copenhagen. i just emailed someone about hitchhiking from a website i found online. if they done get back to me i am gonna buy a bus ticket, thinking around the 16th or something. I have a place to stay from the 20th-27th in Malmo, across the water, in Sweden, about 45 minutes away from copenhagen.
I am gonna meet up with the bike shop people to see if we can work something out. also i have a wwoofing job set up for the beggining of september i believe.
all is well, and i will keep updates coming, when i have internet and feel inspired. and maybe post some pictures too.
hope all is well.

ReplyDeletefuck i cant believe youre gone. i also cant believe matt thought you were in london. we were talking on the phone and i got really excited cause i was gonna try to meet up with you during my 10 hour layover at hethrow. but apparently you are in paris........france. so..... that sucks. great to hear things are working out though. you have begun the trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! congrats man, must feel fucking awesome to be moving. say hi to jonah and anjali if youre still with them. not in the clearest state of mind right now (finally had a night off) so this response will be coming to an end in about 10 words. will email you with something more coherent in a bit. take care of yourself man, live it like i know you are. be well.
