Ok, so it's been almost 2 weeks now since we've been back from Europe (I still miss being on vacation). I'm such a slacker.

I can't even blame work for keeping me busy - work has been pretty light since I've been back. While I haven't had to put in any "extra" time on some deadlines at work, it's been taking me forever to go through all 1500 photos from our trip.

After culling through all my damn shots, I think I chose about 480 photos to keep online. And since my parents hate going through my hundreds and hundreds of photos in each album, I slimmed down the number of photos in half and created a "Best Of" album.

Hopefully I'll have my wifey's trip journal posted as well soon.

Enjoy!

I haven't written about it at all (and I'm not sure why) but our trip to Europe is only 5 weeks away! At this moment we'll be waking up to our second day in Paris! We can't wait.

We'll only be in Europe for 8 days, but we'll be seeing three cities: 3 days in Paris, 3 days in Amsterdam (including New Years) , and 2 days in Brussels. We're even going to be able to see a friend from Jersey that I haven't seen in like 10 years!

I can't wait! I'm gonna have so many freakin photos!

I will be setting up a trip site very soon.

I've been doing some research for our trip at the end of the year, and I came across this recent article.

So it seems that the Netherlands' progressive attitudes do actually have their limits. In a few months the sale of hallucinogenic mushrooms will be banned for public sale...
