Bikes, Trains and Kyle Orton's Pains

Day 6.

Woke up and went to the train station at 930am (230 for you Fargo-ians) to get on train for my first train ride it was pretty cool nothing crazy sweet but it was another new thing for me, arrived in Brugge and had a mini tour of the town it was pretty neat, a ton of bridges and canals and churches. Dr. Wright then rented 16 bikes (14 students him and his wife) and we went on a 18 mile bike tour, as we took off I was yelling "SAMCRO coming through" (yeah I think I'm ganna watch seasons 1 and 2 when I get home, I'm already addicted to sons of anarchy) the whole reason we went on the bike tour was to get to the ocean, we asked for directions along the way and one guy told us it was less than 5 km from where we were so we kept on trucking then we asked a guy with a map and we had another 10km so 2.5 hours into the tour we still had a while to go and since we only rented the bikes for a short amount of time we had to turn around. Day 1 we learned that if we ask someone a question and they didnt know the answer to it they'd lie to us before they said they didn't know....that's what happened today. ouch. well we turned back and rode back to the town, jenacious took a spill on her bike, looked like a faceplant at the time my stomach dropped but now thats hilarious. Once back in Brugge we went to a nice restaurant and had this really good tomatoe based soup, steak and potatoes and chocolate fudge covered ice cream. Best part of the meal was the green tea i drank, the streak was really good its just that this green tea was basically heaven in a cup. (ps Ali WILL marry Lee) After supper we got on the train and headed back to Antwerp to the residence. Well we decided to go to the student bars and I tried the local beer that was only 1.90 euro and the penny pincher inside me got excited so I had a few too many. It was a fun night though and nothing got out of hand so no worries there. I was escorted home by sober Alyda, thanks miss, and hopped on the book of face quick before brushing my teeth and immediately falling asleep.


Day 7.

Woke up and headed to the train station to buy tickets to a local city that has an amusement park, jumped on the train and arrived in the town we jumped on a bis right outside the train station and got bussed to the amusement park. There were a decent amount of rides we went on but there were a few sick ones like the Typhoon, where you start by going 90degress literally perpendicular to the ground then in a split second flip over and head straight towards the ground and then you hit a double helix and basically barrel role it was so fricken intense, there was also a ride that's like the pirate ship ride where it swings back and forth except instead of a pirate ship it was a large circle so you sat around it and faced out and it spun as you swung back and forth, holy crap it was sweet, there was a rollercoaster that was inside a building where we got in and it was pitch black and you do a bunch of circles going up when there's a clock that is timing down that's being projected onto the ceiling and then when we got to the top we rode in and out of the wall still in the pitch black that occasionally had strobe lights and lasers it was cooler than it sounds I swear, they had a rollercoaster that was identical to the mad mouse and thats always its own little adventure, even if the wait was 40 minutes, in the park was a 4D movie so that was kind of cool, shaking seats and mist being blown onto us while watching, then it was time to jump onto the bus and the train and finally we were back to the residence and I've been watching football via stat updates on espn. Orton just lost the game throwing an interception again, shocker. Seriously put in Tebow.
