Brugge and France

HI GUYS ANG GALLLS!
SO, Just taking it easy here in France. This was my first and only day in Calais, France the "Arm Pit" of france from what I'm told.  I'm sure to the locals thats true but for an Texas city this is great! You have the coast, Cliffs, England and lots of pubs and cheap good wine! What else can you want?

So, After Ghent Misty and I visited Brugge, the city Brugge is just Beautiful! The city cloudy, Raining, at night and even sunny is beautiful.  It's exactly what you think when you think Belgium.
I ended up meeting two lovely ladies in the hostel (which also was a nice place) that were from America and were rock climbers! We had a few drinks together at a bar in a very small alley way then back at the hostel.
First city in belgium to have bought chocolates and had our first beer paring of the trip which was quite good I must.  I'll upload Photos with the next post computer is about to run out of battery!

Cheers!

Dinant, Belgium

So i'll make this short and add photos later with details.

This is my second day or is that third? I forget.. Either way it's been beautiful but raining the whole time. Lucky it's not pouring down rain just light rain and hasn't stopped us from going out.
SO, arrived in Brussels early morning before the sun somewhere around 6am and toured around till shops opened up. At that time of day it's dead and lots of trash from stores were out in the street. Though there isn't much trash from the stores unlike New York, just a few bags and thats it so clean already right? Sure. Once the city livened up we got a map and just walked around, it was nice i'll add sometime soon so i dont have to write about this all and bore you.
 So then was Dinant, and this place is amazing! little speak English and thats great! I get to point at things like a baby does when he wants something.  And the french fries are amazing here! Sorry Mc Donalds...
Tomorrow I'll be in Ghent and meeting up with Caroline! :D

                                                         Citadelle De Dinant

Brooklyn Bridge

    This is a view from Brooklyn Bridge. Misty and I decided to take a long walk and check it out.
The weather here in NYC has been perfect, Right now its 64F and windy, How can you beat it?
So, tomorrow I head out for belgium and say good by to New York. I'll be updating with better photos that were not taken with the iPhone when I get a bit of time. busy busy busy! CHEERS!

New York

At the first hostel/hotel named Gershwin Hotel. It's not to bad. One bathroom for 6 people so it's kinda a wait when you need to go. Ah well. Off to China town then Empire State building and Ellis Island!

Europe

So, my trip starts tomorrow! well. The travel does. This will be the test of how much pain I can take. Really bad back pains woo! I'll make sure to update this as much as I can for everyone! Hello?

Fixing the bike!

SO! I finally got done working on the bike around 1am and I really made some noob mistakes this time. You'd think as many times as i'd taken this same part out of the bike i'd have no problem putting it it! Lets say I wont have trouble now that I know the best way to put the gears in! WOO

                                     After waiting 2 months was it? I finally got my part!

                                    This sight was all to familiar! I hope i never see it again!

                                   Taking a break putting the cover on after I cut my finger.
                               This was some shit I tell you, It took me 3 times of removing
                                to find out that I couldn't get the starter cover on because of mis-
                                aligned gears! WOOO!

                                 Finally on the air box! If don't mess up here i'll be done!
                               

                                    OH look! I didn't mess up! or did I? damn screws!!!

 And this is where I say YES! IT'S DONE but I still had to wait for the RTV to set and the battery to charge! SO now that im writing this I can go out and play and hopefully not blow another stator.

                                   This hurt but did not bleed much, thank you sharp objects!
