  • Four minutes left online. I spent all my time emailing, reading blogs and checking SIStv. I still love Paris. Even though last night we got caught in the rain. I bought the prettiest dress today. And tonight we are picnicking in front of the Eiffel Tower. Bread, cheese and wine. The whole deal. Some enchanted…

  • I did not really say that. But I want to hug my computer screen right now. Some of the things I have said since arriving in Paris: "Let’s go where the guy with the bread came from""Nutella crepe, please""Fromage crepe, please""I am going to buy that two euro bottle of wine""Nutella crepe, please" So far…

  • Let us get one thing straight. I am not hungover. $1.30 half-liter beers do not make you hungover. They make you take a lot of photos. And that is totally the opposite of ill. But something, either food, or water, or air, or dustbunnies decided to attack me today. Rendering me a useless, stomach-achy American…

  • We climbed what felt like 1000 steps in the heat today to see the Prague Castle. At least we thought it was a castle, but if someone wanted to help us find it it would have been great if they had said, "It is very much like a small city and you will walk past…

  • I know McDonald’s MandM McFlurrys are not the best drunk food in the world. But where I come from exceptionally large Beers cost more than $1.30. Thank you. And good-night. Unless us sitting in the lobby = new friends to show us new bars.

  • Did you notice I found the quotations? And the question mark? Score. I am not sure what the square is called. Dad, please enlighten us. But I can assure you it is very famous and very pretty. There are a lot of old houses and even more old people. So that is cool. We wandered…

  • I have no idea how to make the quotations work on this keyboard. Or the question mark. Interesting. But….we made it to Prague! After a tram ride, a train ride, a short flight, a bus ride, a terribly long line through the metal detectors which almost made us miss our second and longer flight, a…

  • Anne Frank that is. We visited her house today. I am so impressed and amazed by the profound thought that came from that little girl. Her words were everywhere. So inspired. And so inspiring. I am glad we were able to see that part of history. This whole city is photo-tastic. Between the bikes and…

  • Just returned from the Amsterdam Heineken Experience. Katy and I are holed up in a tiny room on double secret probation AKA free internet time. Score. We saw the Van Gogh Museum today. And it was very, very cool. Before I left Kerry said that I had to see Van Gogh because his art was…

  • Okay, so I heard wrong. It was £1.50. But we still sat on the grass. The grass of Hyde’s Park on the most beautiful June day. In London. Which is not in America. Ballin’. No new shoes today, as my feet are mad at me from last night. We did go to EAT. for lunch…
