Copenhagen, I was tired and thirsty.

On my second day in Europe, and third trip to Copenhagen (not bragging I promise), we took the commuter rail with our favorite Swede Mr. Magnus. He showed us how to save money on a "duo" or "family" ticket, and we were off.



We headed to the Strøget and had some Danishes. I wasn't expecting them to call them that, but they did, and they were quite lovely.


We twisted and turned down the amazing streets, jet lagged, yet wide awake, and took in all the sites that this great city has to offer.

I video you!



We made it down to the harbor, had an english breakfast, a couple of beers, and we were off again.



After an afternoon of people watching, beer drinking, and shopping we headed back to the train to take the bridge back to Malmo.

Sweden: Day one - Live Happily Ever Now

One of the best people I ever have known was in Copenhagen Denmark waiting to welcome us on our European Vacation! Magnus (MankiePost) is as solid as the ice is in Sweden 9 months out of the year. Great person, and a great friend!
























In Five days in Sweden and Denmark, we have seen so much, and enjoyed so much culture, I feel like i've been here for weeks.

We headed from Copenhagen to Lund, a university town not far from Malmo. Magnus, and his wonderful girlfriend Sofia live there, and were generous enough to let us stay in their extra apartment while we are here.

This is European HQ for Leyla and I. Wi-Fi, beer, food, hot water, and a view of their apartment from ours, this is the good life!




After settling in, we strolled the streets of Lund with Magnus in the daytime, enjoying the cobblestone streets, nice weather, and of course Mankie's Lemon Tree!














































We enjoyed an amazing dinner with Magnus and Sofia on our first night in town, and drank beer, wine, along with a delicious dinner.














We ended our first day with a night cap, and we are off to a good start! -LIVE HAPPILY EVER NOW


Europe: Getting there 7/1/10


After a whirlwind exit from the USA, the match VS. Ghana seems like a lifetime ago. With T-shirts from Sharon (no XL), we have made it to our destination!














After 20 some odd hours worth of Layovers and flights, and a 7 hour time change, we managed to keep our sanity. In all actuality, the trip across the pond wasn't that bad. Dr. Dan gave me some pills that made me feel alright, and free Coronas on the plane made it smooth sailing.



Now on to the good stuff!

Texas, Please deliver me surf (Scorpion Bay Preferred)



























Dear Austin TX,

I love you very much, but lets face it, there isn't much surf nearby.... I check here everyday, but there is little to be happy for in the surf department. Side note, Sunday was ISD, and I did my part:

Dear Matthew Kuhn,

On a side note, this is how I spent my Sunday with my wonderful Poppa and family pretending that his pool could deliver me some swell.

Cheers! Europe in 8 days!
