Sarah and Kacee with bikes! (EVERYONE rides a bike in Amsterdam. Usually a heavy, old one with a squishy seat and peddle brakes.) - PICT0060
We went on a long ride (well, long for us non-cyclists) through the Dutch countryside. We stopped for a photo-op with the sheep. It also features the perfectly aligned trees that mark most of the fields I saw in France, Belgium, and Holland. - PICT0072
Deciding she'd rather have fresh armpits than her dignity, Sarah applies some deodorant in the park while Gary watches, bemused. - PICT0074
The group. We didn't move for 6 hours. Except for very exciting trips to the bathroom. - P7230004

Sarah with flutes! (Her legacy from the band days.) - PICT0056
The front view (it's supposed to evoke the tree of knowledge). - PICT0092
In our sleeper compartment, Sarah consults Let's Go, our bible, while some Lake Highlands kid looks on. - 22 TFA muckie mucks

The path above Pacific Beach. - PICT0113
I'm sure this statue signifies something deep about risk-taking or something, but to me he looked disturbingly like a memorial to suicide jumpers. - scan0025
One of my favorites--Irises. - PICT0070
I reunited with Sarah and Kacee, who found some nice frat boys from Georgia to hang out in the big park with us. - PICT0045
(the beach) - IMG 2968
There in the middle you can see a windy trail that we took down to the floor of the canyon, to get a better sense of the size of the place. Oh, wait. No. We didn't go down there because it was really fucking hot. That's right. - PICT0097
Or a catfish. Catfish are cool. - IMG 2947
Did I mention Grand? In spanish grande means big. Aren't the similarities between the languages fascinating? - PICT0075
A street from Leslie's self-guided neighborhood tour. - P6150031

Again: proving she was really there. - PICT0103
Same place. - P7230005

A scene from the bike ride, at the southern-most point of the beaches. - PICT0071
Bikes, trees, sunlight (informative caption) - PICT0073
The people watching in Amsterdam was world-class. We liked our neighbor picnickers--the gay skinheads. - PICT0061
We were riding out to see a (humble, Dutch) castle, but it was closed. So we just stopped for a cola in a pretty little town. - PICT0043
Reunited! Leslie meets Bryan and the rest of the prospective UCSDers for dinner at La Jolla Shores.
