Amsterdam

Currently in a bagel shop in lovely Amsterdam, but I do have to make it quick because Whit is waiting to use the free computer here as well. Been in Amsterdam for two days now and it's absolutely lovely. While from a city construction sense, it's very unique and something I've never seen before, it has a bit of a Portland vibe in the sense that it's a big city, but not too big, and everybody seems pretty nice and laid back.

Paris was awesome, thanks to Keith and Lezlie Whit and I had a very nice apartment/hotel room for two nights in the 16eme arrodisement. We did the usual stuff, go to the top of the Eiffel Tower, went to the artist colony on top of the hill that I can't remember what the name is, and had a drink on the Champs Elysees at night.

Before I met Whit in Paris, I did make my way to Dusseldorf to see Rett, Carla and their relatively new little girl Erin. It was great fun, Rett and I went out on the town in Dusseldorf one night, we played wiffle ball in the street with the neighbor girls, and had a grand old time taking Erin for walks. I really appreciated them putting me up.

Gotta go, got to give Whit a chance to write!
