Backblogged

so we've got some catching up to do...
the last night in munich deserves an ode to itself, so here it goes:
we were planning on keeping a low profile due to our extensive outing in the beer garten. we headed back to our hostel, and then we got the urge to rally. we checked out some local pub crawls, but then no other margs showed up, so we didn't want to look lame and go by ourselves. mickey and molly were sharing a pitcher of fine german brew at the wombar, and molly struck up conversation with three air force academy graduates on their last few days in europe. a few brews later, we decided more brews were a good plan. we caravaned down to the local beer house, haufbrauhaus. the sight before our eyes was like god smiling down on us, naming us his chosen people.
for miles there were liter beers, drunken old men, thrifty swiss youngsters, and above all, sausage. actually, above sausage, there was this sweet band. but the band was a sausage fest. with mustachioed oompa men. they played oompa music. you know, the music that germans with mustaches play when they get tubas.

sausage #2: white veal sausage. served in a pot of boiling water. softer than david hasselhoff in a strip club.

sausage #3: yellow sausage. he was the first korean guy to come up and conduct the band with a stray drumstick.

Sausage #3 inspired a new generation of guest conductors. Let's run through the list:
-Big John Goodman doppelganger who held the baton like a pencil.
-13-year-old Harry Potter doppelganger after being cursed with dark arts of drunk. very smiley, even when he fell off the stage!
-Mickey Mozart. A crowd favorite.
-The Great Korean Sorcerer. Source of infinite giggle fits not seen since the Baby Dinoasaur days, Achilles heel for the Make Me Laugh game.

AFter almost being accomplices in the Great Swiss Hofbrauhaus Heist, we busted out and Molly ate more meat.

Walk home:
Sean and Steve got turned down from the Hard Rock Cafe, for reasons unknown to them but very clear to everyone else.

Mickey and the young Scot peed in a water drain with a great view of the Brauhaus.
Attempted BMX trickery with a self-locked bike failed.
Rap battle minstrelry.
Sounds of Music.
New Game! Name that movie character. One player provides an actor and a movie, the other player must give the actor's character's full name in that movie.

After the great walk home, Mickey plopped on furniture frequently and in multiple locations. Molly discussed remote sensing with the Bode Miller lookalike. Some dude spilled Sean's beer but bought him a new one. Mickey returned to the dorm with one shoe.

Sean continued to blaze ahead in the vomit standings, with the first episode induced by alcohol and not Croad stench. Congrats Sean++!

Prague was next. We all met up in the Aria Hotel with Belkis. The hotel and all our meals were far beyond our backpacking means, and very much appreciated.

We went to the much-hyped 5-story club ("The biggest in Middle Europe") and found more sausage. But this time it was a bad thing. For Mickey and Sean. Maybe just Sean

Sean ran into Hillary Darragh from ETHS

We ran into a Norwegian couple on our final night. Many rounds of cheap Czech beer were consumed, and our new female friend started creeping around. She invited Molly to a traditional Norwegian dance and puked in the bathroom and then had more beer and another pack of cigarettes. Let's visit the fjords!!!!!!!!!!!

I would only add that by absconding with all the uber expensive hotel ammenities of food and alcohol(most notibly the flash of Absynthe, the bottle opener, altoids, kitkat bar, jelly beans and super sized toblerone candy bar -ah a gourmet meal!!!) and letting 23 year old norwegian hotties with super cute drunk fiances buy all the cheap Czech beer, the Eurodoons have perfected the art of traveling Europe on less than Euro a day. They need to bottle this here strategy!!!!

Hi guys!!!!
I am just starting to read your blog as I was in Vermont for 1 month "getting skinny". I am not sure it worked but I feel healthy.
I am happy you are having a memorable experience of a lifetime.
Much love always.
