... a little better and we went to see Night At the Museum II at the On Board cinema. It is as good as the original, and it killed a couple of hours.

Nick met us in Harwich. He drove us home and I am very glad he was there to do it. I was not feeling up to a four hour drive after the previous 24 hours. We got home around 12.30 midnight. We have driven 4970 miles (call it 5000), which is 8000km in 41 days, not counting the miles done by the boat.

... upwind points that would clinch victory for the team that scored them. We had a great, hard game against one of the Frankfurt teams...just barely getting a win by one point, and mixed results for our other games but still coming out in the top half of the bracket for Sunday.

For the party that night there was the theme of "monster vice, pay the price for paradise"...which was a bit hard to interpret but we threw on ...

... market today. We were given a tour of their facility as well as seeing a new 177' yacht under construction. They want my dad to buy this yacht, but after waiting three years for me to get out of high school, he wasn't willing to wait another year for a yacht to be completed.

After our tour, we climbed aboard the heli again for a short flight to Brugge.

... the few individuals responsible for this "situation" (to be politically correct since they have not labeled it genocide yet) and without the corporation of the government the ICC cannot do much. It is very frustrating and heartbreaking that anyone would do what is being done currently in Darfur and even more unbelievable that the country is protecting the ones responsible for causing the horrifying "situation" occurring within ...

... he was going around to the other platform, he wouldn't let us on and made us walk with our backpacks about 800m to the other side of the tracks. When we got to the other platform the #1 tram driver said he was going the same way and we should get off after 3 stops. So we did. And we ended up 1km past where we should have got off, which was only 1km from where we started. So we walked. Oh how I miss the scooter!! We ...

... palm of his hand, and blowing them about the street with two or three puffs of breath - a proceeding highly popular with the small boys who surrounded him. It may be mentioned, while speaking of Hamburg, that they have only silver and paper currency. The want of gold is felt as a great inconvenience; and one may sometimes see a whole wagon-load of silver drawn up to one of the banks by three or four horses. The best way to satisfy an Elbe boatman for ...

... Adam Brook is researching the houseboat situation for us on-line from Detroit. The most excitement this week arrives in the form of a short jaunt over to Den Haag for a second episode of the Night of the Sun Ra Films with Ben Schot. Tonight's offering takes place at an abandoned finishing school and former police station called the Huishoudschool that's been taken over by young Den Haag artists and made into a crude cultural center with a gathering place in the basement where we ...

... and she cries if we try to force her. As you can imagine, Dominique much bigger than Florine now! Every time I pick of Dominique she gets heavier and heavier, but dainty little Florine stays the same! Another accomplishment they have made this month is learning to sit up. Dominique can sit all on her own. Florine still needs a little help so that she does not fall over, but she is very close too. Both the girls can ...

THE MONTH OF APRIL April was a busy month for us. It started with Chris' friend Rick visiting, along with three of his friends, and continued with tours of the bulb fields, a bike ride to a castle in Muiden, a day trip to Gouda, and finally ended, on April 30, with Queen's Day. Because we're putting this up quite late, and there's so much to cover, we've tried to keep it very concise. RICK AND FRIENDS At the ...
