Life as we knew it

I have been editing photos lately. 550 from 3 weeks worth of trip is quite a lot. Hopefully I will have them up soon.

Also, integrating back into US life has been interesting. A few notes:

1) Available food items do not sound appealing since the return. Not that I am no longer hungry. I just don't want the typical american food anymore. I need the little cafe with baguette sandwiches and "le big cappuccino".

2) Portions are HUGE here. I tried to eat a foot long subway sub, and failed. Odd.

3) I am soo happy to be back where ICE and REFRIGERATION are common. They don't use either over there.

4) Cars suck. We need good trains, and scooters and bicycles.

5) The term "Too Humid" is relative. I am glad to be back for that reason alone.

The return

Location: Seattle

Back from the eurotrip. Tired, sore, worn out, but in good mood. It was fun. There are many things I would do different next time... there will be a next time. But overall a good trip.

I have about 550 photos to go through. They will be posted shortly.

Now I go drive my car!!!!!!!!!!!!

And finish laundry and cleanse the eurofilm off of my posessions.

Sparks on the Wing!

Location: Venice Internet Cafe

The transfer from Praha to Venezia was sheer hell. And spendy too. Won't go into it much here as I only have 7 minutes left. But lets just say that at one point there were sparks flying off a plane wing and I think taxi driver was really mafia or something. woo hoo.

Anyway we are in the land of spendiness and humidity to kill a cat. But I have my bottle of wine and am going to go make happy.

Leaving Prague on a Jet Plane

Location: Prague Laundromat/Internet Cafe

bye bye prague. hello venice. tired. worn out. but having fun. we have mastered the art of bus/tram/cab rides to no where. quite sad but interesting at the same time.

OH and they do not have mochas here. I thought I was going to die, but cappucino's are quite tasty.

James Brown is visiting prague soon apparently. But nothing beats the Falco meets Amadeus posters that were all over Munich. Oh and also Saturday Night Fever the Musical. Then there was A Night With Queen: The Musical as well. I wasn't sure whether to think that rocked, or was scary.....

many many photos taken. I have already filled a 512 sd card. still have the 256. I hope that is enough for the rest of the trip because our offloading on the road scheme has failed due to the prevalance of Win95 & 98 in europe.
