ONCE AGAIN
i´m sorry everyone for the posting being so slow. It is becasue it is rediculously expensive to use the internet here.
PRAGUE!
Prague was pretty great. Not only is it a beautiful city with some breath taking art but it is pretty inexpensive which was a welcome change from Paris and most other cities useing the Euro.
Day1 Fish Bowl
We arrive off the bus at about 4pm and we wern't quite sure what exactly we wanted to do with are first night in Prague. We tossed around the idea of going out but that fell through becasue everything was about a 40 min tram ride form our hostel and it was a unfamiliar city to us still. Sooooooo we decided to go to the bar get some pizza and a drink. Well the pizza was good but the drink was a little bit bigger then i thought...it said DELUXE....it was a very large fish bowl 5 liters of alcohol later ( split between the 4 of us) i am now up on the bar with my shirt off dancing and then danceing with every girl on the dance floor. Chelsea thankfully made sure i kept my pants on (thank you!) I don´t remeber much of the night but i woke up the next morning with whip marks on my back from someones scarf and i think i fell on my hand and jammed my fingers.
I kept having flash back through out the day and then became the favorite topic of the hostel and recieved many cat calls when walking through the building.
Day 2 A Day of Culture
To make up for the drunkin shananagans of the privious night We needed a day of culture and good food. at 10,30 we headed out to the tram and took the number 3 tram towards old town...at least we thought we did....We ended up going the wrong way and ending up in the ghetto of Prague and got stuck at the end of the line......1hr later.... we are back on track and heading for the center of town. we get there and it was amazing! Painted building and we happened to be ther ewhen i nationallity celibration was going on. it was great to see all the different chiors and performances in the town square and through the streets. We ended up making are way towards Prague castle but stopped for dinner before at a place called...Mount Steak it had your run of the mill selections of meats there you know....Beef,Chicken,Pork,.....kangaroo, camel, Zebra,rattlesnake, Gazelle. just to name a few. I did not eat anything cute or exotic to clearify. It was around 10.00pm when we finally got to Prague Castle. Stunning is the only way to discribe it. The cathedral in the center of the castle was so unbelievably ornate we spent about 30mins and each side of the catheral. After that amazing ness we then started the journey back to the hostel (side note, the hostel kicked ass and had a pool and sauna i was in heaven) We got on the #15 tram back. soon after we got on the tram at the next stop we picked up the German dance squad in full laderhossen glory. they were a rowdy drunk bunch so ofcorse we took a picture with them.
Day 3 A Day of Nature
We decided we needed some green in our life becasue its been not stop cities. We headed to one of the biggest parks in Prague to relax and take in the park.
(im out of time on the computer but i will update thanks for reading! i hope you are as entertained as i am)
i miss you (you know who YOU are) =)

Catching up!
I am so sorry to everyone for not posting in the past few days.
I'm still alive, it's just been hectic here i have so much to see and so little time here (3 days really isn't enought time to see everything in Paris) plus on top of that Internet usage here is waaay more expensive then Dublin. So here we go!
Day 1
Flew into Paris and things went relativly smoothly...until we went to get on the Metro to go into Paris. Just before i pasted the turnstyle to board the train two Frech Military Officers Charged past me into the terminal we then had to evacuate the area because there was "suspect" baggage on the train.
It turned out fine it wasn't a bomb or anything so yay for that!
Chelsea and i got on the train ( that had now has backed up for 2 hours and was packed like a sardine can) we finally found are Hostel called ST. Christophers.
It is a kickass hostel happy hour bar attached for people who are staying at the hostel 10% off food and it has enexcellent hip young design to it lots of modern art great beds and a view of the canal from our room.
(i'll post pictures)
When we arrived we went up to our room and crashed haaaard. we hadn't really got to sleep since our trip started so we napped for about an hour then meeting Aaaron and his sister Annaliece. We met our four room mates who were some traveling Austrailians. They were really nice i think they were about 24 I only rememeber 2 of the 4s names. We went down to meet Aaron and Annaliece we hung out for a bit and got some food at the bar and then we were planning on going out on the town but drinks are crazy expensive so we were going to pregame alittle we went and bought a few drinks and headed back to our room. When we got in the Ausssies were already waaaay gone so we asked them if they wanted to play some American drinking games so we played some kings and some other games then they asked us if we wanted to head some club called Rexroad on the opossite side of Paris we said sure becasue the metro can get you there way fast (i wish we had more of then in the US) We got there and it was "on of those clubs" you know.....you arn't wearing the right shirt or the right shoes. We got in (because we're just that great) we then stupidly ended up spending 22 euros on bottle of alcohol because we were withsome convincing Aussies.......damn them.......after word the Aussies asked if we want to put some cash together for some blow......we declined......danced a bit then headed out. We then discovered that metro closes at 12 and it was 4 so we had to get a cab back to the hostel where I found my way to an was out fast.
Day 2
After that night we decided to do some culturally stimulating things. so we went and had a picnic under the Eiffel Tower whichwas gorgous ( but i swear to god if someone asks me to buy a eiffel tower keychain i'll cut them) we then headed form there to the Arc de Triomphe (which was what i reeeally wanted to see) it was absolutly amazing. We then heeaded back to the hostel and we ended up meeting our new room mate Andy from Canada he was a cool kid so he ended being added to our group of marry travelers.
Day 3
We grabbed some breakfast then headed out on the metro to go to Norte Dame. Once again beautiful architechture stained glass windows columns. Saw some street performers and got some of the best hazelnut icecream evvvvver. we then headeed to Sacre-ceur and climbed then stairs to to the top while avoiding countless scammers a long the way who would tie a bracelet to your finger and make you pay for it. from that spot you could see all of some awesome performances a long the way. Later that night we went on our first pub crawl which was pretty good cheap drinks and i then discovered i could dance when i got to the club at the end. which was nice. Aaron and Annaliese poll danced like some crazy fiends ( i swear to god they were strippers in another life) Then we caught a cab at the end of the night and met probly the nicest French person we had met the entire time we were in He was also the first person we met who could not speak english. He pointed out good clubs and asked us where we lived which finally understadnding each other took 10mins. Finally we got back and got to bed....we only got 3hrs. of sleep before our bus to amsterdam showed up.
Rough.
but worth it.
:) That was Paris.
(I promis everone i am trying so hard to update as much asi can but getting a few mins of internet access is almost impossible)
I miss everone and i hope everything is going great on the otherside of the world.

Dublin continue
i woke up this morning in a battub filled with ice and my kideny was missing..........
Just kidding.
The first night at the hostle wasn't bad at all actually i slept pretty well which may have been do to the time change and no really sleeping for the past 2 days straight.
we ended exploring a lot of Dublin and I finally got my first pint of Guinness here in Ireland and it was real good. looked at some churches and the river that runs throught the city is quite beautiful. ( i'll be posting pics as soon as i can.)
When we returned from our travels around the city we headed back to the hostel and went to our room where we discovered our pleasant Belgin couple pleasantly knocking boots..... soooooo we went back out to find a cup of coffee to our dismay we found out that coffee houses close at 4 p.m and it was 9pm we went ended up finding a Italian coffee place with some awesome Tiramisu.
we came back to the hostle and went to bed.
i got up early to tak e ashower before our pleasant Belgins
I'm glad i did because....if i hadn't they would have gotten pleasantly naked in front of me...instead of Chelsea lol
poor Chelsea.
Thats all the time i have right now

My First Post From Across the Pond
Hello all it's your favorite traveler ( at least I like to think I am your favorite traveler) posting his first blog on this site.
The Flight:
Let me just say now that international flights entertainment is waaaaay better then regular flights. You have your own t.v., screen countless movie selections, and music. so needless to say keeping myself entertain throughout the flight was easy.
Food
Airline food is just as bad as people say it is. I had "beef" and "potatoes" as my entre. Bleeeeh.
Dublin:
We arrived at about 5 in the morning here which for everyone back in the states it was probly 11pm
IT IS FREEEZING HERE! it's like late fall weather here and i totally did not pack for that. Which was a stupid mistake but meeeh what can you do?
I got to ride in my first double decker bus which was exciting and scary.
we got to the hostel which is not as scary as that movie have made it out to be.
the people are very friendly and it's very secure.
However we arrived here at 7am and we were not allowed to go to our room until 3pm
which was THEEE longest wait of my life especially since i was cranky and jet lagged . So Chelsea and i opted to sit down on a comfy looking couch in the lobby and dozed in and out of sleep until 3. in between that we got some very strang looks form the rest of the people staying at the hostel ( we were being judged in at least 5 different languages THAT has to be some sort of record.)
FINALLy we got up to our room but by that time we aere already well rested.
We then met the people we are sharing our four bed room one bathroom room with who were staying with. they are a lovly and pleasant Belgin couple who were very easy to talk to sooo........i feel like they arn't going to try and steal my things ( i locked my stuff anyway.....)
I'm out of time on my internet time.
EXPECT MORE POSTS!!
Love you all
(I love you Andrew and i miss you very much )

A Ghost Written Post
Hello! My name is Andrew Gorgeny and I am about to embark on a three and a half week backpacking trip across Europe! I will be seeing it all! From the pretty people smoking cigarettes in Paris, to the wondrous whores of Amsterdam!
I plan on keeping all of you informed of where I am, where I'm going, and what I think so far! I hope to provide each and everyone person that stumbles upon this page with an amazing picture of the inner-workings of my temporarily European mind.
