The
morning we left Prague Ness had bought this hotdog-thing
and some popcorn. I look like the guy on the bench
next to me!
|
We
reached Berlin and freaked, thinking we'd left the
camera someplace!! This is me finding it after Ness
ran off to check the train.
|
Ness
in front of one of the pretty, random flower gardens
in the Berlin train station.
|
Ah
the sites of Berlin! Ness and I chill at the Waschsalon
;p
|
Ignoring
the 'Don't Feed the Animals' sign.
|
Ness
poses with our puppies so we can shoot the goth in
the background. Tons of em in Europe, and a bunch
in Germany.
|
The
result of our time in Berlin - we had to dye our hair
black to be uber gothy.. Er.. industrial?
|
Ness
looks so pretty as our train pulls into Paris!!
|
And
I mope.
|
Manu,
after hearing all we had for breakfast was coffee
and bread, feeds us OJ, coffee, and bread;p
|
Ness
with Manu and one of his friends.
|
Me
in Manu's room. Moping.
|
Ness
and I at the Pompidou center.
|
I
was very excited to actulally recognize something
in here! Picasso's 'Absinthe glass' - yay!!!!
|
Ness
in a Pompidou outer walkway, Eiffel Tower in the background.
|
The
view from the Centre Pompidou - of Notre Dame!
|
Ness
in front of St. Huistasche (sp?)
|
Me
getting ready to go out for dinner.
|
Ness
looking tres cool for dinner.
|
The
Eiffel Tower doing its cool sparkly thing! (Every
hour on the hour and for 10 minutes after)
|
Manu
and another of his friends...
|
I
try Foie Gras (sp) for the first time.
|
Ness
and Manu's little brother. She tries to expose them
to country music but they kept turning up their techno.
|
Me
and Nessy after dinner in Manu's living room.
|
Me,
intoxicated and tired, sit for a moment propped against
Manu's brother.
|
The
next morning after World War 3, we head down to Nimes
in the south of France.
|
Ness
on the TGV reading from my poetry book. Pretty pic!
|
Nessy's
room at Manu's house in Nimes.
|
The
Roman Coliseum in Nimes - Manu and I are actually
in this picture.
|
Nessy
in some structure in front of the Coliseum.
|
A
building inside the coliseum used for bullfights
and other spectacles. Toro!!
|
Ness
and Manu on the old part of the coliseum.
|
Ness
in the coliseum in front of a bistro she thought was
very cute.
|
I
'sunbathe' in the ancient coliseum - the weather was
much better in Nimes than in Paris.
|
The
view from the top - tile roofs characteristic of Italy
are present in France.
|
The
sign said 'vomitoire' which just means hallway or
something, but come on, it's ROMAN!!
|
Me
at the Roman Baths! A little too nippy for a dippy
tho.
|
This
swan prolly wanted more than just a picture taken,
but that's all we had to offer.
|
Manu
drove us around the countryside, so we stopped at
this vineyard to take pix - I mean, does it get more
French than this?
|
A
castle in a town near Nimes. Very touristy.
|
That
night we were back in Paris, and Nessy and I went
to L'Amizonial in Les Halles. Fun place. We dropped
a chunk of change.
|
Nessy
pre-intoxication. We could barely tell you how we
made it home that night. Something about hailing a
cab. ;p
|
Excuse me sir, I'd like a helping of the
last circle of Hell!
Ok, maybe a weird and obscure reference, but ya know -
in Dante's Inferno the Devil is stuck in a frozen circle
of hell ...much like Austria.
Ness
and I decide it is TOO cold in that damn train, and
break out the 'emergency' blanket - Shaa!! and monkeys
might fly outta my butt.
|
We
relocate to a car with reclining seats and try to
sleep.
|
Ness
and I in our hotel right across from the train station.
|
I,
the keen navigator, get us smoothly around Vienna!
|
Ness
develops and affinity for 'ice flowers'.
|
We
reach our destination: The Sigmund Freud "Museum"
|
"So,
I had this dream ..."
|
Ness
infront of some very cool looking building in Vienna,
freezing her butt off! ;)
|
The
church we had to brave the FRIGID weather for ;)
|
And
Mozart's Hollywood star.
|
No
Nessy, I don't want to climb these stairs anymore!!
|
The
very limited view from the top... 360 er something
steps later. Yarrrgh! (Stevenplatz or something)
|
After
sushi we stopped for wine, and soon learned Vienna
has the worst wine in all of Europe - so bland!
|
Yep
guys, this is what yours truly looks like in the morning.
Rise and Shine !!
|
YUCK!!
SO SO Sick of Bologne!! Breakfast anyone?
|
Ness
at the Beethoven museum in one of the many houses
he inhabited in Vienna.
|
A
lock of hair - from his chest!!!
|
Odds
and ends at the oh-so-prestigious museum.
|
Two
ferns hang in front of bars to let passersby know
they're open... but they weren't!
|
Now
a bar, this building was once one of Beethoven's apartments.
|
We
know who really does the work at these Shoemaker shops!!
|
Warmth!
Finally!!
|
And
we stayed for hours... Gee I wonder why?
|
Ness
isn't telling;)
|
She's
consuming!
|
A
weird statue in the metro station across from our
hotel.
