Welp...

I stole 'welp' from my friend Skiles... i like it as an alternative to 'well.' Did i mention that i have had perfect weather... one afternoon it rained in the netherlands though... and in luxembourg it rain about 15 seperate times that i was outside... but for just a few minutes and then it went right back to being sunny with blue skies... so i couldn't have been luckier... except that ill be sweating like crazin in Istanbul because no one wears shorts there and summer is in full swing.

I opted for hiking instead of biking in Liechtenstein because bike rental was $22... i made a good choice... i walked nearly across the entire country... i climbed an elevation of 1000 meters... 3280 feet (i think). and walked at least 25 km i think... i was off the map a lot and there wasn't a scale on the one i was using... at one point i was walking knee deep in snow while wearing shorts and a t-shirt... that is how nice the weather was/ hot the sun was shining. i've def. got a tan now. the best part of the day was drinking from a mountain spring with water so cold that my hands turned bright red, like they do in the winter after being out side for a while. the water must have been snow not an hour previously....

Got to munich this afternoon and have been walking around. Tomorrow i will have breakfast here and then fly to istanbul. I promise to post photos by saturday.
