It is 12:31 am....
and I am happy to report I shamed Alice into drinking with me.
shamed her.
And we met a nice person (a local, Logan will be happy to know and it was a much better interaction with a local than this interaction I had the other day. eeeks. Stupid Americans.)
And she took us to a couple of bars
I have pictures
but it's late and I have a lot to pack into the last two days of this trip. I can't believe how fast it goes.
Alice was so eager to prove me wrong about her ability to drink I fear I'll have to leave her here a gutter drunk and she'll be screaming at me, "I can so drink more than 1.5 beers you evil bitch!!!!"
And I will reply, "I don't speak what you're talking."
Really though, Alice realized my trick tonight. If you keep a nice flow of about one drink an hour, you just don't feel like going to bed at 9pm, you feel like staying up all night practicing hugs. I'm really not pushing her though anymore because I really am afraid she'll become like me and I'm not sure she wants to drink to drink that much.
Yay! A reverse intervention. She needed help and it sounds like you were the right one to help her. Keep working it, I think you could change her life.

"I don't speak what you're talking" is my new catch phrase for LIFE. Or at least the next several weeks.

"I don't speak what you're talking..." HA! Awesome!
Bring me back cheese. A LOT of it. You're allowed to transport it if it's vaccuum-sealed. I hope you've been eating all the cheese there- SO GOOD!
-miao.

Sounds like you are having a blast. Dutch and Belgian Beer is so yummy. But that genever - can really kick you. I prefer the coffeehouses (hehe) but even then I can't do much. Good tip drinking one an hour. Marc is the biggest alcohol lightweight around - it's actually pretty funny. It's too bad your hubbie couldn't come with you - but good for you for even going. I have yet to go off on my own - looking forward to it.
