TO BARCELONA!

Hey!
sorry for not updating in so long. Shawn and i are heading to narbonne with our cart today, and are journeying to barcelona! this will be about 150 miles for us to go, and it will be slow because we are walking, but it will be fun! we have 3 puppet shows prepared and costumes to wear! a picture of the cart will come soon, but for now just imagine a three wheeled cart rolling through small villages in france and spain. and us entertaining people and swimming in the medeterrenean sea! talk to yall later. i got packing to do!

southern france

We took the train to narbonne and are staying in shawns friend june's garden. which is maybe 30 km from narbonne. amazing village ancient with riuns up the hill built into caves... pretty much the most incredible place i've seen. my crappy camera cant capture it well. ed and june have a catamaran they sail and you can view their details and other great things at www.floatingneutrinos.com it was overcast today but is hot when sunny!

PARIS

so, when i was in lille i got tired and just took the one hour train to paris, ive been here 3 days and think its wonderful. i met up with shawn and we are planning out next step. it might include getting rid of the bike and building a cart to travel around with! will keep you posted...

Pictures: riot cops in paris, and well, duh.

roubaix

so i am in france now, but its all rainy and unpleasant. i slept under a bridge last night so i wouldnt get wet, but i dont think i got that much sleep because i feel beat right now. oh well, i think ill go look for a nice not wet overhang to nap under and then continue on to paris which is still 2days away, anyhow, i saw two dead cats and a swastika inlayed in brick on a building in belgium. weird. anyhow, i am gonna peace out.

ANTWERPEN

ok, so i left Delft yesterday, rode to almost the belgium border, and camped out in a wooded area, now i was awoken at 5am by rain, (first rain i have encountered on this trip) and decided to break camp and head further south, in the nice SOAKING rain... i rolled into antwerp at 9am and ducked under a cafe overhang for a couple hours and read. i also got to realize a couple of my ziploc bags didnt hold up so a book or two got pretty wet. i got a 25€ room for the night, and right now my stuff is scattered about it trying to dry. tomorrow i plan to bike to robaix france, but i think itll also rain tomorrow. wish me good times!

DELFT

so,i havent update my blog in too many days. in the past 10 days, i lost my camera cable, so it is possible i cant upload pitcures for a tiime. oh well, queensday turned out well, ian and i made 110euros but stull had tons of stuff left. i tried to sell the shoulder pat shirt i am pictured wearing here but nobody bought it. after the sale i put it on a fence, and it was taken in a matter of MINUTES!! cheapskates! anyhow, i am in delft, near rotterdam and den haag, and now am going to head to belgium, if i make it that far....
