We went for a hike a few miles into the mountains. The best part: the red trees. The views weren't bad either. Nor the beetle sex. Ahem. - IMG 2884
After arriving at the scenic Guadalupe mountains, we prepared to head to our campsite from the Rangers' station, but discovered the car wouldn't shift out of park. Here, Bryan tries to find something in the manual that might help; eventually a call to a VW dealership yeilded the answer. - IMG 2883
Ears are weird. Bet you can't stuff yours into itself. - IMG 2882
The usual suspects: Pip (the gray hippo-marble) and Mr. Frogman (holding open the computer) take their customary positions on the dash as we head out of Austin. - PICT0095
Our train buddies--four guys from Dallas. Well, three in the picture. - PICT0094
We looked out our train window as we passed Cologne in time to see a dream-like cathedral, which i photographed badly as we passed. - PICT0092
In our sleeper compartment, Sarah consults Let's Go, our bible, while some Lake Highlands kid looks on. - PICT0087
I took this one in a hurry and couldn't quite capture the horror of these stairs up to Kacee's apartment--very typical in Amsterdam. Narrow, steep, and shallow. Not pretty to get bikes up and down. - PICT0086
Sarah, Kacee, and Josh sit down to our last dinner--delicious salmon. - PICT0084
Deciding I need to lighten my load, I drop four shirts and a legal pad out the window. Kacee assures me that someone will pick it up for use within 15 minutes. She's right. - PICT0082
Main gallery. - PICT0081
Rembradt's Nightwatch, probably the most famous in the museum. - PICT0079
In the Rijksmuseum, the huge national museum. Much of it was closed to get rid of asbestos, eek, but the highlights were open. - PICT0077
Sarah stocks up on snacks. Mmmm, stroop wafels... - packing JPG

Our Lady of the Rosary church in Little Italy, featuring some pretty cool murals/etc. - PICT0004 003
After an Italian dinner, a long walk, and an early bedtime Monday night, they got up early Tuesday to explore downtown SD. (pictured: a pretty cool building) - PICT0003 004
On Monday afternoon, they met on a bus that took them downtown to their new digs, La Pensione hotel in Little Italy (who know San Diego had one?).
