Rotterdam

In my hotel room in Rotterdam. I am watching the Mets play the Marlins from two days ago. They have some wierd TBS deal, no commercials so it is like watching the game in express mode. I need to get a workout in, and them I am going to walk around for a while. Rotterdam is a pretty strange place. For all of the old buildings of Amsterdam, everything here is post world war two, with the exception of an insurance building. The Germans literally flattened this city. It has been rebuilt in the "modern" architecture style, of which I am just not a fan. I am not sure why I find it so unappealing, but it just does not do it for me. Also, after two brilliant, sunny days, the weather has "gone dutch" in that it is a gray, pretty dreary day out there.
The hotel is a real nice one, they are still jacking me for high speed internet, and like a jackass I forgot to get a receipt for the cab from Amsterdam to here, so I am going to have to eat that money, really aggrevates the crap out of me. At least the health club is for free, I need to get a workout it, I feel like a complete slug. I have not done anything in four days. The chances of my doing the Bart Brentjens Challenge in less than two weeks is looking pretty slim. I have Visa stuff to do tomorrow, and then on to Antwerp on Wednesday.
Okay, off to workout, and then to walk around and czech this city out..
