Andre's Most Recent Vacation (Pt. 1)

So my Jazzfest/Eurotrip was a huge success. I'll post more pics elsewhere on the internet, but I'll give yall a brief synopsis of this past vacation. Btw, I am always lookin for travel buddies... Let me know if any of yall are plannin a trip.

First off was Jazzfest. I think most of yall were there, and I had GREAT time hangin out with everyone. I miss my perfectly dysfunctional family more than I could possibly express.

One of my favorite pics of the weekend from one of my favorite nights (James Brown tribute at The Leaf. James Brown became our theme music for the trip.):

Up next was Budapest Hungary. One day we rented bikes and rode through the city to this park on an island in the middle of the Danube where we frisbeed, climbed trees, etc. It was quite a nice day.


After Budapest we went to Vienna, Austria. We were only there for a short while, but we rented bikes and saw some sights. We also went to a market and had a picnic in a race car in a kid's playground.

That night got kinda rowdy. The hostel bar was up and kickin that night. We started playing drinking games at happy hour. Our group grew to like 15 ppl. This is the aftermath of happy hour:


After Vienna came Brussels...where Ramon met up with us. We only stayed in Brussels for a night and a day, but we drank absolutely incredible beer while we were there.



In the middle of the night, we almost got kicked out. This is why:


Our compromise was to buy another room. Bastards.

Next up was Amsterdam...oye vay. We stayed on a houseboat where you could feed the ducks from our floating back porch:



We went to a little jazz club, which was pretty cool. The music was actually pretty decent too. And we visited the park a lot and many coffee shops and a smart shop. Here is a pic of Vondel Park after having visited the smart shop. It was a good sunset:


After continuing the festivities, we went back to the park, at night, and decided to climb trees...Jay, with an eye patch on... He soon fell out of the tree. I think this was right after:


Now, WEEN IN FUCKING AMSTERDAM!!! Oh what a night, not to mention it was Leisa's 21st birthday. Our group consisted of 3 lady pirates, a Chief Cobra Chai, and a Captian Irvin:


OK. I guess I'll throw in a pic of the band we all know and love too:


Still lingering on our to-do list is to get Jay a whore. We had it at the top of the list at all times, but we never crossed it off... Next time, next time.

Part 2 will come at a later date.
