Another country, another keyboard

Well, we made it to Brugge, Belgium yesterday for our 2nd to last stop before we head to Amsterdam and then home. Brugge is home to some of the best gothic architecture in Europe, two different estqblishments that serve over 300 brands of beer , beautiful cobblestone streets that weave in between the old buildings and over the many canals throughout the city, and yet another keyboard that i am unfamiliar with. Here is how the last 9 words of the last sentence would look if i typed them without looking at the keyboard: qnd yet qnother keyboqrd thqt i q, unfq,iliqr zith: Anyway, you can see how painful it is to make posts.

Anyway, inbetween our time in Switzerland and Brugge, we made two stops in Germany. The first was in Frankfurt and was really just a stopover. However, for me, it was one of the highlights of the trip because I got to see Notre Dame play live for the first time this season. We stopped by a bar that was playing the ohio state game and after the game, it cut to the last 1:33 of the ND game where we did our best to hand Navy a win after what looked like it would be a blowout win for the Irish. Luckily, we prevailed and I was estatic for that reason and because I realized that I have probably saved myself 3 years of life by not watching the Irish play live this season -- what torture.

After Frankfurt, we took the train along the Romantic Road to Rothenburg, Germany. This town, which is completely enclosed by a wall, has no modern buildings in it. We went to Hell one night, a pub located in a building with a foundation that dates back to the 900s. Anyway, it was a very sleepy, very quaint, and very beautiful city that was spared a US bombing in WWII because the US general in charge of bombing the town had a mother that enjoyed vacationing there. Anyway, we were very happy it was spared because it was magnificient. It was the type of town that was straight out of a Thomas Kinkade painting, and I of course loved it because I am a sucker for all things cheezy.

That is all the time , see some of wou in a few days and talk to you hopefully one more time.
