I thought I had brought all the cables I needed to upload video to my laptop. This is the same set up I had used this summer while in Europe. Unfortunately I left one of the cables at home. Really the only reason I brought the laptop with me was to post video for you online. Thankfully it is not an uncommon cable to purchase. I guess I will spend my day today looking for a cable instead of editing video.
Some of the video is from Heather's excursion with the large group of deaf Russians. I have not even seen it yet. I am looking forward to taking a look and editing it so that we can all enjoy the video. I have not decided if I will add music for an audio track or leave the audio as is, yet. If you have any preferences let me know and I will probably follow whatever you all want.
Later
Dana

Want to see some Italian Sign Language
Here I am meeting some new friends they are signing in Italian Sign Langauge but my intro is in ASL
Transcript (by Heather):
Dana: Hello, I'm here tonight with friends of Carlo's. We are at Lele (boy) and Ethel's (girl) house, they are dating. Anyway, all night--other people too, Chris, Charlo, etc, many people here. They will introduce themselves, but they won't use ASL, they will use Italian Sign Language. Anyway, we all sat at the table and ate focaccia, and a round thing, not quite pizza, but pizzita?, it's a small square thing with toppings, it was delicious. We also had beer and chatted. We also had, not ice cream, but gelato. We'll have everyone introduce themselves, but the names will be in Italian Sign Language, so you'll have to figure it out for yourselves. The fingerspelling is similar to ASL, you will be able to recognize some letters.
Guy in red shirt: (Italian Sign Language)
Girl in red and white striped shirt: (Italian Sign Language)
Girl in black shirt: (Italian Sign Language)
Girl in pink shirt: (Italian Sign Language)
Guy in white shirt: (Italian Sign Language)
Dana: Ok, you finally met them all, and it's back to ASL again. Anyway, I'm finished videotaping, and I'm going back to partying, chatting, and having fun. See you later.
Oops, I forgot one person, the cameraman, Carlo. Stupid me, ready to say hello to Carlo?
Carlo: You don't have to videotape me! Hello, my name is Carlo, nice to meet you. I hope to meet you soon. Come on over to Italy and have fun here!
Dana: Now we're finished, bye.

Caught on tape in Brussels
Here is the video footage of what I visited in Brussels. I am out of here now for a tour of Luxemburg. Maybe there will be more video later of Luxemburg.
Transcript (by Heather): Brussels, I read a book that said that central place was the best place to go first. Now I'm walking around looking for that. I found the library, it's cool, wanna see?
Last night I found this place, and it looks cool, but one interesting thing is that they have one area in the ground, when it is nighttime, the lights will light up from the ground. It looks like stars. I'll show you where the lights are. Lights. Last night, I looked and found a cool market area, they had restaurants, food, and different things. It was really cool. I'm walking there again now.
I'm still walking, looking for that central place. I think maybe I found it a while back and don't know about it. Anyway, while walking, I found a cool building, I'll show you. I wonder if that's what I'm looking for. I'll walk and see if I can find the name of that building.
I found grand place, this isn't it, it's around the corner, but I wanted you to see the inside of the central square. That hotel right there is the Hotel De Ville, there is a story on a blog, I'll have to see what's up with that. That big building you just saw, that was the Hotel De Ville. Let's see outside, the grand place now.
I'm leaving now, I'm looking for parc de brussel. It looks like a huge park with cool things inside, we'll see.
I found Don Quixote and his friend, Sancho Panches.
Now I'm in the Cathedral of St. Michael and Gudule. The woman just came up to me and asked me to take off my hat. OK. Anyway, the cathedral here is cool and big. Outside they have descriptions and I took pictures of those already, I'll show you those later.
And that's it, I'll walk around and see what's up.
That park I was looking for, I finally found it.
There's a cool big water fountain.
I'm sitting in front of that water fountain. It looks like a good place to rest. I think I'm finished for now, maybe I'll go back to the hostel at 2, then take a nap. Right now it's 11:15 in the morning, and the hostel is closed from 10am until 2pm. So now I have to go out look at things. Maybe I'll sleep here, it looks nice and pretty.
I feel good, I rested an hour, now I looked at the map, they have the US embassy right there. I've never been inside a US embassy before, so I'll go inside and see what I can do there. If they let me, I'll try to videotape the inside. If not, oh well.
Well, I tried, but they told me NO, you must have a diplomatic passport or if you have a military ID, then you could, but I don't have either one, so I was stuck I guess. Anyway, that's it. I guess I'll try it again in another country and maybe they'll let me in.
Look at the cool bike lane.
See that step? I didn't see it and tripped. It was funny, FYI.
Cool building, but it's interesting when you use my sunglasses, you can see a different design with the windows. See if you can see it with the camera or not. I'll try it with my sunglasses on the camera.
I finally found the EU capital building. That's not it. I thought that was it, but there's another EU building there but I finally saw the capital building, I recognize it from the pictures. Now I have the option of seeing some old arches or the EU building this way. Both are pretty far. I think I've decided which one to see. See the arch. Anyway, I want to see the EU building, it's new and fancy. I'll walk over there, then we can see it together.
I finally found the EU capital building. I don't know why, but it's not on the map, not in books, nothing. I guess it's not really a tourist attraction, but I'm interested, so now it's my tourist attraction. Anyway, a man just walked by and laughed.
A man just walked up to me and told me that I can't videotape here. I already got the video anyway, so it's fine. Interesting that they won't let you videotape here.
Now I'm learning the new metro system for Brussels. It's cool and easy to use, just like any other metro system in the world. You can see the map for this line only. Anyway, soon I'll be back to that ??? area, then buy food, eat, then go back to the hostel and sleep.
I arrived back to the hostel just now, and I'm starving, but I thought about buying food here, and it's expensive, 21 euros for one meal, that's pretty expensive. I don't want to blow my money when I'll be hungry again in a few hours. I remembered what Lee, my friend from Gallaudet in Washington, DC, told me, go to the food store and buy cheap stuff and make your own food. I walked and found a food store close to that central place, I decided to metro there, you saw that, I found it, bought food for 15 euros, wanna see what I bought? I have some cheese, meat, salad, yogurt, a full loaf of bread, it will last me several days, at least. I'll eat whatever goes bad first, then leave the rest for later.
That was an awesome meal, now I'm heading back to sleep. I'll wake up later tonight, go out and party maybe. Bye.

Down and dirty in the street of Wakefield
Ok the town is not huge but it is a fair size. This is the edited video footage of my visit to Wakefield England with Matt. I finally got it posted. Hope you enjoy it. Poor heather has volunteered to transcribe these videos. I fear she may resign if I keep posting these up here so often. Make sure you leave a comment telling her how much you appreciate her hard work :)

Walking tour of Gawthorpe Ossett
I made it. Matt and his dad met me at the airport. All is well. I am working on getting my laptop online here. The first night Matt and I stayed up until 4 am here talking. He drank while I struggled with the internet. In the end I used his computer and was able to make a video phone call home. That was awesome. Finally I was satisfied (or maybe just too exhausted to continue) so I went to sleep.
Turns out sleep deprivation and a lack of sustenance really works as a great sleep aid. I slept until 2 pm and now I am up and ready to go. At the moment we are walking out the door to see what there is to see in Gawthorpe Ossett. Will keep you informed.
I have some pictures but really not a lot happened today or tonight. I think that may have been due to the fact that I slept until 2 pm. Felt great though to get plenty of sleep. We did head out to a local pub and downed a few pints with Matt’s mate Steve. On the way back it “pissed” (rained) on us a bit. We stopped to aid a motorcyclist whose chain came off. After getting him back on the road, we made it back to Matt’s place. Been here all night taking turns on the internet. All in all, a pretty chill day. Saturday (that’s today now) it is Matt’s birthday. We have some climbing planned and some drinking as well. I posted some more Pictures in facebook. Feel free to take a look.
