Back in Amsterdam...

...briefly.

Kindra and I are back. She was able to fly to Berlin Friday so we could spend the weekend together.

The trip overall was great. Some points of note...

LONDON
Very cold but sunny. I got my haircut in London by a guy from Kenya. It was the most professional haircut I have ever received followed by the strangest headrub I've ever had...I liked it.

PARIS
Our days were shorter in Paris so we had time to do a bit more. We went to the Eiffel Tower, got some great food and watched the Barcelona vs. Chelsey game one of the nights.

ROME
One of the guys I was traveling with liked to point out that almost everything is older than America. Everything from the Trevi Fountain on down to the light poles.

BERLIN
Was freezing and snowy and great. As a city Berlin is really interesting. Even though the wall came down in '89 both halves of the city have incredibly different feels. Apparently this is because the West tried to modernize everything to show how prosperous democracy was. The irony is the East, by not doing this, is now cooler cause it's retro.

We are leaving Friday to go to Dublin to see Ben and Kelly for the weekend. St. Patrick's day in Dublin should be interesting.

Here are some shots from the trip and the new apartment. Enjoy...

We'll post some more photos soon but in the interim here are some shots from the last month or so...
