*Warning*  The following entry will not be nearly as exciting as many of you hoped.  I aim to rectify this situation ASAP.  Thank you for your patience. After spending only a few hours in Amsterdam, two truths become evident: 1.  No matter how crazy, funny, sad, or off-the-charts insane the stories you have heard about this c...

While, I am a little behind.  The teacher tour ended in Frankfurt with a trip to an apple wine farm and the Heidelberg Castle.  The experience was wonderful and I learned so much.  I never thought I would appreciate the German culture, but this has been an eye opening experience. Mike joined me on June 30th and we spent two night ...

Tues Oct 26 1993 I'm so disappointed with myself. I broke down and had breakfast at MC-D's. The shitty thing was that the food was just what I expected, I was unsatisfied. I ran into a girl Louise from the night at the Bulldog. She left her hostel and came over to ours. We hung out at the hostel and talked for qutie a while. A whole gang of us d...
