Bye Bye Amsterdam
October 30, 2009:Today was our last day here in Amsterdam. The week has gone by as all weeks seem to go: quickly. I think all of us feel like our time here has been well-spent, I know for sure that I do. Before I get too far [...]

Lost in the Barrens
October 29, 2009:More university for Michelle and Lisa today and another bike ride for me. I’ll cut to the chase, I had another great bike ride, this one being the most ambitious of the three I have done here in the Netherlands. I left the abode at [...]
A Normal Fall Day in Amsterdam?
October 28, 2009:I’m not sure, but I think we may have lucked out with the weather over the last couple days here in Amsterdam. Today especially, was sunny almost all day with almost no wind. Not the sort of weather I was expecting prior to our arrival. [...]
When the Cat is Away, the Mice Will Play
October 27, 2009:Busy day here in Amsterdam, hence this long and late posting. I went down to the university with Michelle and Lisa this morning; I was thinking there were some interesting office buildings I wanted to take some pictures of, and the university seemed like a [...]
Bookends: Pannekoeken and Red-Light District
October 26, 2009:Another day in Amsterdam, with bookends of pannekoeken this morning and a fly-by of one of the red-light districts this afternoon. In between the bookends there was some not so interesting sorting of logistics, namely determination of how to get to the University of Amsterdam [...]

Art Can Be Great and Exhausting All At the Same Time
October 25, 2009:Day two in Amsterdam. We felt pretty good this morning thanks to the first real sleep in a couple days. With our new found vigor we decided to head out to the Rijks Museum for some upscale tourist action. There is currently a master works [...]
We Are Here, Amsterdam That Is
October 24, 2009:Europe is on; after nearly 8,000km of flying today and yesterday we arrived in Amsterdam at sunrise (about 8am) today. It’s October, so not surprisingly we were greated by overcast conditions, a bit of light rain, and temperature of 8C. Items of note for the [...]
The Final Countdown For Our Trip to Europe
October 20, 2009:I loved Europe… when I was in grade 8. I’m talking about the band here, not the continent. Well that was then. Not surprisingly, my interest in hair bands has faded, but I suppose to be fair to the hair I should probably give a [...]
