Today we went to the beach near Plougonvelin. Once again, I didn't get pictures because iPods dont like sand:-)
We were going to see fort de Berthaume, but it was closed so here's a photo of it.
That's about all.

Several days ago, we went to see the Eiffel tower. It's kind of hard to describe it, it's THE Eiffel tower.
The next day, we left Paris on a TGV to Brest, and from there we took a bus to Plougonvelin, the town we are house swapping in right now.
That's about it really, here's a bunch of photos.

The day before yesterday, we left Rödinghausen on a local train to bielefeld. From there we took another train to Klön, and from there, we took an amazing train (streamlined electric) to Paris (yes, Paris). Yesterday, we were going to see the Eiffel tower, but Tobin was too tired, so we explored the park near our apartment. It's a huge area with hills and cliffs and stuff, but it's all artificial. It's kind of weird being in there, because you know it's all fake, but it's really pretty. There was even an artificial cavern with a waterfall.
Today, we're actually going to see the Eiffel tower, and I'll put photos of that on tomorrow's post.
So, that's about it.

I guess I haven't posted in awhile, so I'll have to reduce detail a little.
Yesterday, we went on a hike with alpacas and llamas up into the forest around the valley that we're living in right now(Rödinghausen) is in. After the llama hike, we went to a tiny burger joint called Joe's.

Today we went to see Limburg castle ruins, but, since it's in the forest, we couldn't find it and we ended up having to ask some joggers where it was, and the directions proved correct! So we saw the castle and it was pretty cool. So after that, we came home and ate dinner and now I'm typing these words.
I will get photos for the next blog posts I do, and I'm very sorry about the lack:-(
So, that's about it.

Three days before yesterday, we went on a walk with another relative of ours, and took a water bus to a certain part of Copenhagen to see a bunch of large sand sculptures. They were very cool, and there was even a small area for build-your-own! So, we hung around there for a bit, and then we were going to go find somewhere to eat, but some of us were really done so we headed back.
Two days before yesterday, we went over to another relatives house for dinner and the food was good(even though I don't remember what it was), and after dinner we hung out there for quite a while.
One day before yesterday, we did absolutely nothing important except going to the grocery store.
Yesterday, we went to Hillerød to(once again) have dinner at a relatives house.
Today, we have left Copenhagen, passed through Hamburg, and are now on a train to Hanover.
That's about all I have to say for this post.

Alright, so yesterday we took the metro and then the train to the frilands museet, which is an open-air museum that has stuff like old thatched buildings and old windmills and stuff like that. We stayed there for a while, but then we were supposed to be at a relative's house for dinner so we took a train that looked a lot like a bus to their apartment. The food was really good, and the cake was AWESOME.
It had this really fudgey inside, but the edges were like normal chocolate cake.
After that, we took the normal train home, and that's about it.
