Strasbourg
Notre Dame de Strasbourg. so big it looked like an optical illusion and it triggered a bit of my megalophobia. i can't imagine what the Paris one is going to be like. definitely had me gawking like a tourist dork. which i am. who gives a shit. 😄
most of France has had a ton of rain this year, lots of flooding around the country.
in general the French seem to be much more engaging and effusive than Germans, kind of snarky and smartass. i fit right in 😄 also, France has ALL the nationalities.
but wtf with the absolute dearth of ice in Europe. i mean it only requires water, it's not exactly a luxury 🤨

a few shots from the last two days. or three. i'm not sure. the effect of jetlag on me specifically has been interesting...i have insomnia and am a night owl by nature, have been since childhood. then i retired and it became extreme, so at home i am often up very late and typically sleep until at least 930-10, and i only get up then bc i set my alarm every day. that has somehow translated here to...i am sleepy and in bed by 11pm, and am wide awake at 730am. weird.
the thing i'm most surprised by so far...i think i could live in Germany.
Leaning Tower of Kitzigen. we recreated a family photo from 1969 in front of it. pretty cool deal.
Zugspitze
german wine and german funyuns for hotel hh in the rain

so here's my first rec...if you're like me and you freak out a bit on flights longer than four hours, and you are willing to pay a bit more for comfort/room/service but aren't a surly 1%er and can't afford Polaris, and if you live in a city that has a nonstop flight to Reykjavik...then I highly recommend Icelandair Premium Saga class. it's basically domestic first class service and comfort. nonstop from Denver, with a 4 hour layover with full access to United lounge in Denver and Icelandair lounge in Reykjavik.
reviews for economy class are full of horror stories...but splurge for Saga and it's pretty freaking awesome. food was shockingly good, and the gin choices were outstanding... apparently that's an Iceland specialty. i did not know that but i was happy to sample a few! and the lounge in Iceland is open bar... and by that i mean there's just a counter with open bottles of whatever liquors, with an ice bucket and glassware and setups/mixers... and you just make your own drink. 🍸

Split was pretty scary!

it was okay. lagged in the middle, i got drowsy lol. more exposition than action but the narrative didn't actually take you anywhere that interesting, there was no real climax or explanation of anything.
Caesar was missed. CGI was outstanding, but at a certain point you're just watching a cartoon.

didn't that one cobra just win an Oscar? 😆

I'M NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, FUCKHEADS. I'M DRUNK
i'm telling y'all, he is legitimately obsessed with Obama. he is thinking about Obama all. the. time. that's why he is constantly confusing Obama with Biden and has all these weird anecdotes about Obama that are not only untrue, they just come out of nowhere, he legitimately fantasizes about him. more than Biden or Hillary or Stormy or anybody, Obama lives rent-free in his head constantly.
because Obama made fun of him at the WHCD.
thanks, Obama.

well... we drove across France today. which was mostly just beautiful and breathtaking and there's like 11th century castles just there on the side of the toll road lol...but MY GOD between the traffic and the absolutely torrential downpour... just going around Paris almost did us in 😳 it was like trying to drive 610 around Houston at 5pm during Harvey.
ANYway... the sun was still up at 10pm (which was unexpected and weird!) when we finally arrived here...
watching my dad walk across the street and stand on Utah beach was...well, you don't get many moments like that, especially at 76. pretty special.
