so our time in cologne was always made better by the giant synagogue right beside our hostel. other then that the city didn't stick out much. remains of city walls, churches, bells, and a river. now dont get me wrong i loved it, just little to write about. when on my computer konz randomly came online; now we are in broken at konz's house. i thought he was in holland or canada. quite happy to be able to visit him.

fun fact: we are getting taken to the exact same beerfest mitch and josh went to all those years ago.

k so i slacked off. the days we spent in warsaw were boring. its a buisness town and we were a 20-25 min walk from anything cool. the hostel workers new so little they couldn't tell me where the nearest corner store, supermarket, restaurant, or pub was. when we got out of warsaw we went to berlin where it was a very nice city but unfortunately we saw no sights whatsoever. our time was dealing with sickness, finding hospitals, and trying to work things out. we left berlin and i kid you not we were on a train on a boat. i didn't know that was possible. apparently its faster.
we saw copenhagen and it was nice and all but our favorite part was training over one of the longest world bridges to get to malma. its a small southern swedish town, also the home of the swedish girls we met in krakow. we had a bbq on the beach, went swimming, and went clubbing with them. it was amazing to be with locals.
after all that fun we went to lypsig to visit josh's long lost family. they lived in the middle of nowhere, it was beautiful although there was no internet of cell signal of any kind. we were shown around once again by locals. i swear it makes it better. the only downer is the only person tat spoke 'fluent' english was 15. so i language barrier was hard but not impassable.
right now we just made it to colgune and right as you exit the train station there is quite possible tthe most amazing building we have seen so far. it is impressively large and made with gothic styling. were actually going to investigate it right now.
