INVASION OF EUROPE - COMPLETE!!!

IM BACK FROM MY INVASION OF EUROPE :) IT WAS A BLAST... TIL THE LAST DAY WHERE I GOT SOME SORT OF FOOD POISONING... YUP THATS RIGHT... 2 WEEKS OF FUN AND NO PROBLEMS THEN BAMMMMMMMM 3AM THE DAY IM LEAVING I VOMIT AND DESTROY THE WASHROOM HAHA. THEN I COULDNT SLEEP OR EAT. WHEN I GET TO THE AIRPORT I BASICALLY COULDNT MOVE... HAD HEADACHE, CHEST PAINS, DIZZY, STABBING STOMACH PAINS, LEG PAINS, THE RUNS AND VOMITING. HAD TO GET THE FIRST AID AND THEY DIDNT SPEAK ENGLISH... GREAT... THEN HAD TO GO TO THE MEDICAL CENTER THAT WAS 6 TERMINALS AWAY. AFTER THE DOCTOR SAW ME I HAD TO PAY THE CONSULTATION FEE BUT DIDNT HAVE ANY MONEY ON ME SOOOO THEY MADE ME WALK BACK 6 TERMINALS WITH 30 MINS TIL BOARDING XD AHEAHEHAH. LETS JUST SAY I MADE IT AND THE PLANE RIDE BACK WAS HELL!!! IT ALSO DIDNT HELP THAT IT WAS A CONNECTING FLIGHT... HAD A 3.5 HOUR LAYOVER IN MONTREAL AND THAT KILLED ME TOO, THEN A 5.5 HOUR FLIGHT BACK HOME. REGULARLY DIRECT WOULD HAVE TAKEN ABOUT 9.5 HOURS BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOO THIS TOOK 7 HOURS TO MONTREAL 3.5 LAYOVER AND 5.5 TO COME BACK... WASTED 6 HOURS!!! WHEN I FINALLY GET HOME THE PAIN IN THE STOMACH WAS UNBEARABLE SO EMERGENCY ROOM I GO :) GOT SOME MEDS IN ME AND FELT BETTER. 

WITH THIS BEING SAID, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT AFTER TRAVELLING ALL OVER EUROPE LOOKING AND LEARNING ABOUT ALL THESE HISTORICAL AND AMAZING PLACES, THERES NO PLACE I RATHER LIVE THAN AT HOME :) YA SURE THE HISTORY, ARCHITECTURE, PEOPLE AND PLACES ARE AMAZING AND ALL... BUT SOMETIMES ITS JUST TOO MUCH. SOME OF THE PLACE ARE TOO OLD, TOO RUN DOWN, TOO SMALL, TOO MANY PEOPLE, TOO OUTDATED OR TOO UNCOMFORTABLE. ONE COOL THING I WISH WE HAD IS THOSE REALLY REALLY BIG OPEN TOWN SQUARES :) THERE IS NO WAY THAT WE WOULD HAVE SUCH A LARGE OPEN PLACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN JUST COME GATHER TO MEET UP AND CHILL. 

HERES MY PROBLEM... I LIKE TO TAKE PICTURES AND ON THIS TRIP I BROKE ALL MY OTHER TRIP PICTURE TAKING RECORDS. TOOK OVER 4000 PICTURES IN 2 WEEKS... YA THATS RIGHT OVER 4000, IT WAS SOMETHING LIKE 4215 OR SOMETHING AND THERE IS NO WAY THAT IM GONNA BE ABLE TO POST THEM ALL UP AND SELECTING PICS IS GOING TO TAKE A WHILE TOO. ALSOOOOOOO THE FACT THAT IM GOING TO VEGAS TOMORROW THERES REALLY NO TIME TO SET MORE PICS UP. 

IN PREP FOR EURO 2012 :) DUTCH PRIDE WITH MY WINDMILL :)

WELL THATS ALL FOLKS CAUSE I HAVE TO FINISH PACKING AND GO SLEEP SINCE IM HEADING OUT REALLY EARLY TO DRIVE DOWN TO THE STATES. EDC HERE I COME!!! PARTY IT UP IN VEGASSSSSSSSSSS... CEPT IM ON MEDS AND I CANT DRINK ALCOHOL... ALSO THE MEDS SAY THAT I SHOULD AVOID PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO THE SUN... DOES VEGAS HAVE SUN ANYWHERE??? HMMMM :)
