Some things I've learned on this trip

- If your handcuffed and shoved into a Tanzanian taxi by a soldier you will lose money and apple products
-You can climb Kilimanjaro eating only cornstarch dumplings and tea
-If you are killed by a jaguar, your body will be dragged into a tree, out of sight, and eaten
-The "Which cup is the ball in?" game is a scheme to steal 50 Euros from you
- And the people surrounding the game are all in on it, and they will make that known when you walk away after figuring out its all a lie
- If your sleeping when an Asian massager starts working on your back, she will wake you up and expect pay
- If you befriend a female bartender, they will give you all the full beers drunken Irish forgot about
- Gypsies don't like half-eaten pastries, even if their sign says they need food
- Crazy British in Hyde Park like to wear cowboy hats and thongs while trying to act American
- As long as you speak a little Swahili, being homeless in Paris is not that bad
- Every country thinks they are the best drinkers until the next morning
-Florentine mothers treat you as their own when you leave their house after two weeks
- Don't skinny dip with girls from Indiana in Cique Terre or the next day you will be on the lam from the police
-And those same mothers love it when you come back to hide. They even make you pasta
- When going to a fine restaurant in the Czech Republic with two gorgeous sisters soak in the jealous looks
-Alot of Germans dont like Americans, and they will dislike you even more when you have a German girl under your arm
-When celebrating Norways Independance day in Hamburg expect to do more explaning that drinking
-When camping on a nudist beach you will undoubtably see everything. but dont be suprised if they want to come say hi
-And don't be suprised if your preconcieved notions about nudists are shattered when they turn out to be in the military
-Antwerpen is only good for running in parks, seeing art. and buying diamonds. There is literally nothing else
-Dancing on the shores of the Rhine River for 14 miles is a form of prayer rather than an excersize
-And 1 day until your home is still far to long

See some of you tomorrow, and hopefully the rest of you soon
