Updates Yo!

So I've been gone for a while...haven't really posted anything, and frankly this post has nothing to do with what most of the site is about, but its my life for a little while and I'll post up shit that I experience. I've finally made it to my destination to support freedom of movement and peace for a nation (i hope). We aren't allowed to drink or have fun most days, but one day while we were still doing training in Germany they did let us loose on the city of Nuremberg Germany before we headed over. Again not drinking, meaning not as fun as it could have been, so I walked some 20 miles and checked out most of the downtown, bought a pair of red steel toe 14-hole Doc's, and took pictures, drank lots of coffee, and ate food. I spent most of the day by myself, it was nice to get away from all of the people I'm here with all of the time and go and do what I wanted to do. Nuremberg has an interesting history and was the center of Hitlers Third Reich. The city was leveled during WW2 leaving almost 90% destroyed. Amazingly many of the old churches still stand and a castle I visited that was built in the 1200's. I was trying to make my way to the Museum for Industrial Culture which had a shit-ton of German motorcycles dating back to the beginning, but couldn't find the place to save my life.

A "real" bratwurst...or what an original one is anyway. Bratwurst can be several different types of sausage in Deutschland so I learned...not necessarily what Johnsonville would call a brat.
Some statues and art around the downtown area.
Some skateboarding stuff... Looks like a rad spot!
Lunch and dinner one day during training. The chicken pesto one sucked sack...
Anti-military protest downtown...lots of mohawks. One guy was carrying a large puppet that said "Universal Soldier" on it.
The cops on BMW's escorting the protestors...
The city...
For Tommy and Ben...in case you want to spend a 140.00 on some Lego's instead of the real deal.
The Hooger Booger...
A waste of a perfectly good Indian...just throw some lame European fashions all over it in the window of some shop.
Laters!

Hey Dave,
Thanks for the pics. Reminds me of my excursions as I stumbled down the stone streets of Germany...I was drunk much of the time. FYI, part of "German Instrument of Surrender" states that a US citizen can commandeer any vehicle while in Deutchland. You have the right to liberate that American built Indian!
