... will never see and I am saying something I rarely would...Let's stick to the beaten path and explore awesome Amsterdam. Now that is a fun place.<br><br>I PROMISE I will work overtime to find something awesome in jolly old England to write about and I will try to get a few pics of Eindhoven on here. Actually all in all I am glad I stopped here. I got some good exercise and got a good appreciation for some of the other colorful places that are out there for our exploration.

... an hour of much-reduced speed and stopping, the train got back under way. After half an hour of moving, we still to be going slowly. Right after we started moving, it seemed to me that we switched to another track, making a slight S-curve movement, but I doubt that such a thing would be possible within the tunnel. Is there not just one track in each direction?<br> In any event, we do hope to make it to London eventually. At this rate it may take a while.

... am with were right here, during combat and saw many of their friends killed and wounded right here where I am walking. Wow! Cannot get that opportunity with Civil War vets anymore. And it made me realize why we need to hear their stories and we need to hear them now. <br><br>As I talked to Daryl, I realized that I am talking to a man with 4 jump stars on his wings. Sicily, Salerno, Normandy and Holland. Imagine surviving 4 combat jumps ...

... about 4 years ago but Martijn and I communicated via email and made plans to get together for the evening. I went to the home of his girlfriend, Cindy, and his 2 year old daughter. We had a blast and I got to see "The Attic" of GI stuff that Martijn has collected. It was a very nice collection and I enjoyed an evening of WWII talk, beer and barbecue. What more could I ask for? After dinner, Martijn mentioned that he knew the exact ...

... from the 1600s. So, from what I saw, the architecture there is pretty dark and heavy-with lots of dark red and black stripes and lots of big, metal black bars and heavy shutters over the windows (and of course, everything's brick). Anyway, it was a really cool little city and a nice day over all! Hopefully I'll get the chance to see other cities in the Netherlands before I go...

... kids were there: my cousins Marc, Taco &amp; Judith were there along with Judith's husband Taeke and son Wouter. My sister Henriette came from Hoorn and my sister Jaaike and her husband Horst came from Germany. There was even family from my mother's side - my cousin Pepi and his wife Bogusia from England. <br><br><br>Jaaike ...

... a huge thunderstorm. The 91st Four Day Marches were walked and finished by 34000 people.This is a huge event every year with also lots of festivities in town itself as well every day and night. Dinner at night with the family and packing the next day. Sunday 22 July back to Sydney After a good flight with Korean Air we landed in Sydney at 6am and it was cold. However during the day the sun warmed up the day , we reunited with our 3 sons and it wasn't so bad to be back

... temperatures most days over 20 degrees. very unusual for this time of the year. Spring time ia spectacular. First just branches, then you see the buds forming and all of the sudden blossom and very light green everywhere. As there was no rain the blossom stayed extra long on the trees and we had several fantastic bike rides to admire it all but also around our little house it is very nice with lots of little birds coming and going to eat from the little seedballs I ...

... Vsetko je opat nove - ako napriklad to, ze Juro vytiahol pred check-inom na letisku taky zabiklac z prirucnej batoziny, ze som az podskocil a sucho utrusil - hmmm, co keby sme toto dali to tej batoziny, co nejde do kabiny? :-) To by bola vcelku sranda, keby nam ho namiesto toho vytahovala bezpecnostna sluzba na letisku. Leteli sme takmer prazdnym lietadlom do Amsterdamu a potom vlakom ma juh do Dordrechtu, co je asi hodinka vlakom s vyhliadkou na okolitu Holandsku krajinu ...
