goofy!

Hi!

So, David called me an INVETERATE GOOFBALL the other day! At first I didn't believe him but after today I totally agree. As I have shown already in pictures I am a sucker for Europes amazing flohmarkts and farmers markets. Well, today i went several miles on the tram out of town, walked 25 minutes along the country side and found a giant flohmarkt that was on a horse track! This isn't even the good part! This morning I put 50E in my pocket and had a feeling it would be gone by the end of the day. I had this feeling to bring it with me. I walked through the whole market and bought several cheap things, like some gloves, a bag, more sunglasses ect... And then, I see this bike! Orange, old european, foldable, with a bell, a light on the front and back, and two gears! I try speaking with the man selling it but he is Bavarian and speaks NO english. We work out a bit of sign language and I finally buy it for 40E and he throws in a bike lock and says in broken English, 'you, very happy happy?'
And I was! and still am!
I rode back along the country road beaming with pride and singing loud!

I am planning to take this bike along my next stops, Prague, Krakow, Vienna, Salsburg, Venice and then to Florence! I will sell it once I get there.

Sorry I cant post pictures right now these computers at the hostel won't let me plug in. I am in Munich, leaving for Prague tomorrow. Yestarday I went to Dachau concentration camp and last night I swam in Munich's Olympic pool from 1972! I am homesick and happy and happy!

XOXO
