view from my room...

Amsterdam...this trip has been bitter sweet. It's been 20 years since I lived outside the city in Gouda, what seems like another life. I'm so glad I choose to end that one.
I didn't eat breakfast this morning just so I could eat the potots(french fries) w/mayo & onions. You know what, it didn't taste as good as they did then(it must of been the second hand smoke that made them soooo delicious).
I rented a bike as soon as I arrived. Even though it was 32 degress & raining, I love the simplicity of getting around so easily. This is the first time I've really enjoyed getting lost. I'm adding Amsterdam back onto my "Around the World List".

Upper Class

On the road again....just can't wait to get on the....

Hotel Hessischer Hof

Stayed at a wonderful Hotel in Franfurt called Hotel Hessischer Hof. It was right across the street from the convention center. They were nice enough to upgrade me to a huge suite. The bathtub was so big my tippy toes couldn't touch the other end. I loved the heated bench & floors in the bathroom too.

Foil

This was the wall in the lobby of my Copenhagen hotel. I've seen gold-leaf walls, but this was foil. It looked really cool.

Urinal

I was walking down a busy shopping street in Stockholm, I look over, this guy is taking a "whiz" in this thing. There's no door on it. I couldn't believe it, then I starting thinking...this is really sexist. What are us girls supposed to do?

Miss Moneypenny

Miss Moneypenny and myself going out for a little exercise. It was the day after Thanksgiving, I think I should of ran a few laps too.

London Eye

Me on the London Eye in November 08. Kinda fuzzy but it was really hard to get a decent photo(and I don't like photos of myself).

Little Stinkers

Scanned in this old picture of Kim & I from 1974. How cute were we...and the skunks? Mom, do you have any pictures of our snakes and alligator? I think you had my pig tails pulled a little tight too...I look Chinese.

Counting the days...February
