Old men with big flaccid penises like to wave them around in public places. I wish they wouldn't. I don't need to see it.

The fun-loving pick up and go idea of backpacking has been smothered by the French Rail System. All high speed trains must be booked ahead of time and we didn't, the train we want from Brussels to Paris is full. After a work around and an insistence that, yes, we want to stopover in Brussels we were able to do what we wanted with a few additional stops. We should have listened to the train-dude when he said go to Antwerp if you want to see a beautiful Belgium city. Instead we went to a beautiful square in the trash area of a city. The Grand Place is beautiful, but I am glad that I didn't spend a night in this city.
