I got almost all of the sausage down, but the last bite slipped off the miniature plastic fork and onto the ground. Julia was in awe, but pretty stoked about it, and I got some funny looks from her friends in Mainz when I was introduced as "Jon, who studied abroad with Julia in Sweden, and had level F at Best Worscht in Town."

Beer, Waffles & Kids Peeing: Tourist Attractions in Brussels
Worth noting, however, is that there are actually two statues of kids peeing in Brussels. Jeanneken Pis is considered to be Mannekin Pis' sister, and is in the back of the alley where you locate the Delirium Cafe. I was told that the shop that had it installed went out of business a while ago, but sometimes she still finds the power to urinate behind the locked gates.

Performing “Research” at “The Laboratory” in Bruges
...the couple escorted in was none other than Jeff Lebesch and his wife Kim Jordan, i.e. The Founder of New Belgium Brewing and his wife, the current CEO. I can say with full honesty that I believe New Belgium makes the most overrated beer in Colorado, and since Howard's opinion isn't that much different than mine, we immediately started talking very loudly about how much better Odell Brewing is than New Belgium, how much Fat Tire sucks, and that 90 Shilling is the best beer brewed in Fort Collins, if not Colorado.

How do you conjugate “I Amsterdam?”
This time around, I recognized Amsterdam's individual charm and character, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Europe. Regardless of your views on soft-drug use, legalized prostitution, getting run-over by bicycles, or whatever else you may have preconceptions of Amsterdam being notorious for, I honestly believe anyone and everyone would enjoy this city. Go there!

A Bridge, Right Over There
On the second day in Arnhem, Howard and I decided to explore the northern part of town in an attempt to find a castle located in a large park system. The weather turned sour very quickly in the morning, but we didn't let it hold us back.

An Evening in Rotterdam
After collecting some lost objects and eating breakfast, Marc, Howard and I left Varsseveld for Arnhem to drop off some belongings, and then continued west to Rotterdam to meet up with Shelley and her friend Gabrielle. Shelley lived down the hall from me when I studied abroad in Karlstad, Sweden, and I was very excited to meet up with her once again.
