Dresden, Germany
I arrived in Dresden yesterday. I had a hostel booked and stuff, so I was okay there compared to when I arrived in Lyon. I was pretty tired when I got here, which seems to be the case pretty much everywhere I go. I think I am just exhausted from the continuous travelling.
Anyway though, Germany played Portugal last night for the Euro 2008 Soccer tournament. I stayed up to watch that in the hostel bar. Not one person was speaking english (which was quite a contrast to every other hostel that I have stayed in) so it was a little awkward, but the game was great and Germany won. They totally dominated ball control through the first half, but during the second half Portugal spent a lot more time with the ball. Even though it seemed like they had the ball a lot more, they still werent able to get it into the net. After the game, I just went to my room and read a book before I went to sleep.
Today, I have so far just wandered around Dresden. Actually though, most of my wandering wasnt in the city. I was walking down the street when I saw some stairs going off into the woods down a path on my right towards a small creek. As I went down them I saw that there was a path along the creek on both sides, and that it was a sort of nature trail. (It reminded me of the trail that goes along the river behind the elementary school and by northland college.) I just walked down that for a while. Some of the people that I saw coming the other direction were walking barefoot on the path and I was tempted to do the same, but I didnt feel like carrying my shoes in my hands. Then I came back to the hostel to write this and eat some food.
Now, my plan is to go to Sächsische Schweiz tomorrow after I check out of my hostel. It is some kind of park, and I will (hopefully) be able to sleep outside. Otherwise I am going to do it anyway. I have been carrying everything that I need to live outside, including even the food and a stove for 3 days for this entire trip. It is about time that I use them.
After that, I will maybe go to Rotenburg to see Lena. So, thats my plan so far.

hey Kyle,
east part of Germany is very different to the west part. Berlin is cool, everything is also cheap even it's a capital city.
I prefer west south part of Germany, there are more to see, more mountains, lakes and beers!
Have you already visited to Vienna? Mumu
