Gateway to old Munich--the last shot my broke-ass digital camera managed to take before dying completely. - PICT0041
After a 2-3 hour break, we staggered out into the light to buy dinner. Here, Sarah pokes a fish in the market. - PICT0032
In Amsterdam, we stayed with Sarah's friend Kacee, who lives there, and Josh, whom she lives with. They were incredibly gracious and incredibly fun. The following are a few shots of their beautiful apartment. - PICT0117
For some reason (I'm guessing beer), the girl we got to take this on our beer garden tour thought we would rather have just a picture of us than a picture of us AND the liter of beer in a giant barrel of a glass in front of us. (sigh) There is one exciting feature of this shot: my purse strap sunburn. - PICT0044
Sarah said hello to every dog we met in Europe, usually calling them "le chat" ("cat" in French). She wanted her picture with this one. He was pretty cool. - PICT0043
Okay, so I looked like a tourist in the market taking this shot. But really, how could I not? Look at all the flavors! - PICT0110
...airplanes - PICT0039
And here we are in the bar, conveniently placed halfway through the museum. Three beers were included in the price of admission, and we ended up with a few more... - PICT0106
All these big grey buildings in northern Europe had beautiful red flowers in the windows, which I thought were just lovely. - PICT0034
When I have a home again, I want to rip off their plant style--orchids and cacti. Beautiful! - PICT0046
The market. The blue sky and 80 degree weather was very atypical. - PICT0095
Our train buddies--four guys from Dallas. Well, three in the picture. - PICT0096
It's 8 a.m. in Munich--what would you do? Probably take a picture with a boar statue, too. - PICT0064
As the only first-timer in Amsterdam, I occasionally set off to sight-see by myself. The next few shots are in the Van Gogh museum. - PICT0111
Bagpipes! (of some sort) For Cameron. - PICT0077
Sarah stocks up on snacks. Mmmm, stroop wafels... - PICT0051
Dinner. - PICT0037
After a first night of eating tapas and meeting a couple of Kacee's cool friends, we went out shopping and for a quick lunch. - PICT0082
Main gallery. - PICT0050
Kacee buys olives, etc. - PICT0116
In the one store in all of Northern Europe that carried Dr Pepper... - PICT0036
The couch on the right was my bed. - PICT0069
Okay, I just thought it was a cool building. - PICT0066
This was an exhibit of photographs of places where Van Gogh lived and worked. - PICT0107
Me in front of the science and industry museum and some river we never quite caught the name of. Notice the garish yellow visor, bought in a moment of delerium to keep the sun off my pale little face. - PICT0068
A little courtyard action. - PICT0108
Leslie and Sarah inside the museum, by a big boat. Taken by a woman who didn't know how to hold the camera still. - PICT0114
Sarah collapses in the Munich hostel. - PICT0038
Naturally, we were distracted from grocery shopping by the Heineken brewery/museum. Here are Sarah and I by a big old copper drum for...brewing, one can only guess. - PICT0076
Kacee, and a statue of Mr. Vondel (of Vondel Park, where we sat all day)
