ALL THE STORIES

The grand warship was finished in 1628 and set out on its maiden voyage from Stockholm harbor with great fanfare. Then after three-quarters of a mile, still within sight of the celebration, it tipped over and sank straight to the bottom of the sea. Waah waah wwaaaaaah. Well, that was awkward.

Lisbon is the capital of Portugal and the people there prefer to be called Lisboners. I didn’t actually ask them but it stands to reason. What else are you going to call them? Lisboans? Lisabonets? A buncha Lisbos? Like I said, Lisboners.

I pulled out again, a scooter swerving around me in puttery rage. Back again, cut the angle, back back back jeez this seems close, I don’t know, I guess I’ve got to SHRRRRRRG I plowed into the rusty Jeep parked behind me. Uh-oh. Huh. I guess I didn’t keep the rental car that I couldn’t afford to damage in any way pristine for very long after all.

Pictographical signs warned me repeatedly that you needed to use the brakes on the turns or you were going to die. Additional signs warned you not to ram into people ahead of you, killing them. Yep. I mashed the brake release lever into the floor and was off down the mountain. Whoooo!

I was shocked. I had fully expected the ritziest casino in the world to have no problem with the fact that I was wearing bright orange trail runners and was otherwise dressed, as always, like I had just come in from a long, sweaty mountain hike and desperately needed to use the bathroom.

Hey Sean, greetings from the future. I have to say, we’d all been waiting for the day you’d finally put these travel blogs together into a kick-ass travel book. But now that it’s here, I have to admit I’m kinda disappointed. It’s just a bunch of Top 10 lists like ‘Top 10 Signs That This Hike Was a Bad Idea. #1: You’re sweating so much your farts sound like diarrhea.’
