Back in Germany

So a lot has happend between Poland and now. It has been amazing. Currently I am somewhere in Germany....I don't know where though. Let me start back in Poland. So after staying at that beautiful house in Poland, which was the best house I saw in all of Poland. The kid was really nice and I was kind of bummed we had to leave because him and his friends were really fun to jsut hang out with. After Poland we drove to Stuttgart, Germany to meet up with our label mates Masterpiece. It was kind of cool to meet up with some American folk. We just talked about how much we missed taco bell, bagels, and water without carbonation. The show was kind of lame but we sold some merch and played fairly well. The food was god awful. It was some kind of chili i guess but it was like soup. It actually looked and kind of tasted like someone poured in cans of tomato paste into a huge bowl and added 3 kidney beans, 5 kernels of corn, and a sliver of onion. Delicious.....

The best part of tour was about to begin though. After the show we headed to Salzburg, Austria. Right in the Austrian Alps. The drive to the venue was soooooo beautiful. The club was called the rockhaus. It was really awesome. It was a legit club but had a smaller stage in a longer narrow room. The turnout was amaying and the crowd was into everyband that played. We ended up selling a ton of merch and played extremely well. Best set of tour in the best venue so far. The show got out fairly late and luckily, the guitarist and drummer from Heartbreak Kid grew up in a place called Berchtisgaden right on the Austrian border, where Salzburg is. We ended up staying at their parents places for the night and hung out in the Alps for our day off. It was absolutely amazing. Their house was beautiful and as soon as you walked out the door to their yard there were huge mountains everywhere. Berchtesgaden is located right in a valley in the Alps. It blew me away. I had never seen anything like it.

For our day off we all drove around town in the van to see some sights and then went to a Nazi Museum where the drummer of HBK's mom worked. We all got in for free and got to see some really interesting stuff about Nazi rule in Germany and specifically in Berchtesgaden. Hitlers vacation home, the eagles nest, is at the top of one of the mountains that surround the town so there is a lot of history. Most of the stuff at the museum was boring but there was a part where you could go into a bunker that was carved into the side of the mountain. It was incredible to walk through a nazi bunker and think that at a point in time it was filled with Nazi soldiers. Apparently the whole bunker goes so far into the mountain but we only got to see a certain part which was still very cool. After the museum we were all really hot and wanted to go for a swim. The guys in HBK too us swimming in one of the few rivers that runs through town. It was awesome. The water color was this weird green color but was super clear and clean enough to drink from. I did not drink from it though so don't worry.....at least now intentionally. We went to the part of the river where there is a 20 foot waterfall or so. There we could jump from a rock on the side into the base fo the fall. The water was cold but definitely not as codl as other water I had been in. It was very refreshing. After swimming for a good while we walked to the lake that was nearby. Going to the lake you walk down this boardwalk type thing except its like a little bavarian village which is really cool. After hanging out and finding out at someone had accidentally stepped on my X watch when it fell out of my pocket after swimming, we went back to their parents place for dinner and to sleep.....I am really bummed about the watch. I don't care about not having an X watch, even though its pretty awesome, I was just bummed because Ashley gave it to me as a present and I really held that close to me.

After finally leaving Berchtesgaden against everyones desire to not to, we headed to Manheimm where we played a bumout show to maybeeeee 1 person who wasn't in a band playing that night. I ended up staying awake all night LARPING with a sweet crossbow and flaming nerf-like arrows, and talking to Ashley in a webcam party. It was kind of stupid because I couldn't see her and it was just a pic of me typing with Sean sleeping behind me on a couch. It was really nice to talk to her though. I kind of can't wait to get back to see her again. Oh, I also talked to Nicole, which was awesome. I hadn't talked to her pretty much all tour so it was really nice to just say hi even though it wasn't for too long. I miss everyone back home. Though I am really enjoying everything here and taking in everything I can, I am really excited to come back home to see everyone.

So I stayed up till 730am talking to ashley and woke up at 10am to eat and head to where I am now to hang out and have a decent place to shower and sleep. Its 1:20AM now and we are heading to Voice of Art Festival tomorrow at 9AM, I believe. I know I am leaving so much stuff out but hopefully I can explain it all better when I get back. I have a problem with time so I'll start typing stuff and then realized I left an entire adventure out so i would have to go back and place it in the right order. It's a real pain in the ass so sometimes I just leave little things out. Sorry my writing isn't superb. I have very bad story telling skills. Just wait till I get back and make you listen to everything I did......your head will explode. I'm heading to bed. I've been trying to upload my pics to a photobucket but it won't let me so next time I have a lot of time on kyles computer I will try again. I come home in less than a week. Ill write a couple more times before i get back....I hope. Goodnight.



ps....i didn't reread this so its probably sooooooo confusing. im sorry. ill clarify later.
