May 19th- Jerry Friend

i am well rested as i think I got eight hours of sleep for the first time all trip which was nice. The people at the university were reasonably friendly but I didn't speak to them to much while at campus. The train trip was nice because it meant I didn't have to walk a [...]

So I finally got out and explored on my own today. This si because I was fine with skipping the bike tour because I can't ride a bike to save my life. with that, I just rode on the transit in Rotterdam for two hours and looked at some things. I also hit up a [...]

Most of the day wasn't much as all i did was watch Youtube and play video games while between a train and a bus. Did have to switch seats at one point to charge my phone. After that, the food tour was nice and for once my feet aren't killing me after a day on [...]

Today was another lighter day mostly due to the trip to the Dachau Concentration camp. It was something that I never experience and I don't know if I want to be in a place like that again. I don't really know how to explain it. There was just an aura around it that unnerves me. [...]

For today, I actually got some rest for the first time in around two days which was a godsend. After that, breakfast was good and then the day really started with the trip to Mercedes-Benz. The factory tour was cool but we really only went through one area of the complex which was different from [...]

For me, getting here was not exactly the most fun experience. First, my flight out of Fort Wayne got delayed and almost cost me my connection to Frankfurt. Then on that flight, my body started to hate me and I got pretty much no sleep. Then, while taking a train to Stuttgart, I had to [...]

Jerry Friend Pre-Trip Post

Hello, my name is Jerry Friend. I will be arriving technically in Europe on May 11th at 9:55am but in Frankfort instead of Stuttgart. I did this as I found it was quicker to take a train to Stuttgart rather than another flight. One thing I look forward too on this flight is the actually [...]
