break down pt deux

This is my best guess of where I've been recently:

  • 7/15: Thu: Tübingen one more night with couchsurf host Jessi, found out through facebook that a friend, Dave from South Africa whom I knew from Chicago, had just moved there, met up with him and drank in public square
  • 7/16: Fri: rideshare from Stuttgart to Munich, train to Eichsätt, met with friend Laura, watched Blues Brothers in the park, slept on her friend's couch
  • 7/17: Sat: great bike ride with Laura, biergarten, but then had to go back to Munich, nowhere to stay in Eichsätt, sitting at train station, randomly met with fellow traveler and couchsurfer Sietske who found us 2 beds to sleep on
  • 7/18: Sun: rode around Munich on bikes we found, went to anarcho-hippie dinner party, climbed scaffolding of church and drank up high
  • 7/19 Mon: hitchhiked with Sietske from Munich to (almost) the Czech republic, stayed at a hotel in the middle of nowhere
  • 7/20 Tu: hitchhiked from hotel to Cesky Krumlov with Sietske, stayed there
  • 7/21 Wed: hitchhiked from Cesky Krumlov to Pilsen, stayed in a run-down hostel, broke phone by sleeping on it
  • 7/22 Thu: my one day in Prague, took bus from Pilsen in morning, walked around, couchsurfing bar night at night, stayed in a hostel with Belgians I had met the night before
  • 7/23 Fri: hitchhiked from Prague to Dresden, went out with folks from the hostel
  • 7/24 Sat: hitchhiked from Dresden, met with couchsurf host Christian, went to multilingual party at his ex-girlfriend's, slept there
  • 7/25 Sun: woke up at the party apartment, slept on Christian's couch, hung out with Merle
  • 7/26 Mon: 2nd couchsurf in Berlin, Paul, who also was hosting 2 Austrian girls
  • 7/27 Tu: 2nd night at Paul's, went to squat for Volksküche that didn't exist
  • 7/28 Wed: Amsterdam, hitchhiked from Berlin to Amsterdam, couchsurfed with Stefan
  • 7/29 Thu: Amsterdam, 2nd couchsurf with Judith, a first time host
  • 7/30 Fri: Amsterdam, stuff in train locker, met a girl at a bar (not what it seems), went to a squat for a party that didn't exist, slept on her floor
  • 7/31 Sat: Amsterdam, stuff still in train locker, slept on Lisa's floor (girl from bar)
  • 8/1 Sun: went from Amsterdam to Gand
  • 8/2 Mon: stayed in Gand
  • 8/3 Tu: hitchhiked from Gand (Gent) to Caen (pronounced "quand"), couchsurfed
  • 8/4 Wed: stayed with Jennifer, old friend from Paris days (10 years ago) and her new husband and baby
  • 8/5 Thu: stayed with Jennifer & co., played Go with her husband Laurent
  • 8/6 Fri: hitchhiked from Brittany to Paris, arriving around 23h, couchsurfed in the suburbs of Paris (92)
  • 8/7 Sat: woke up in the 92, slept there too
  • 8/8 Sun: woke up in the 92, went to the 93 the northeast 'burbs of Paris, the more dangerous ones
  • 8/9 Mon: stayed in 93, train into Paris to walk around, went to couchsurf bar night, met Frédérique for dinner
  • 8/10 Tu: woke up in the Paris suburbs, flew to NYC, walked around Brooklyn, few to Chicago, slept at home--the closest thing to home that I have.
