wowza!!! where has the time gone!!!!

SO SORRY FOLKS!! this is long overdue!!!!

Well a quick overview of what we've done is in order!!!

From The Netherlands we took a train to Berlin which was great, we stayed in a fantastic little hostel and got to enjoy the wonderful city of Berlin we saw the Berlin Wall, Checkpoint Charlie and Holocaust Memorial to name a few. The weather was gorgeous and Germany's dance crews were out in full force? odd but a nice touch! From Berlin to Munich for oom pa pa bands tons of history beautiful cobble stone streets and cute little cafes! DELIGHTFUL!!!!

Germany to Poland and our first stop was Warsaw. We entered the city of Warsaw 2 days after the plane crash occured killing both the President and his wife, as well as nearly 100 other government officials. Really devastating news! and the entire country went into a two week mourning period. The streets were lined with thousands of candles and flowers and thousands upon thousands flocked the streets to pay their respects! From Warsaw we headed to Krakow where we went 135 metres below ground to a HUGE salt mine (pretty neat) and then on a day trip to Auschwitz which was incredibly powerful to see and witness.

From Poland we entered the Czech Republic and our first stop was Prague which we thoroughly enjoyed! BEAUTIFUL CITY the weather was amazing and the Chel and I were finally both feeling 100% at the same time! BLESSING! Yesterday we were in Czechs second largest city Brno, which in the end was rather cute :) and now.... whew... VIENNA AUSTRIA!!! 5 countries and just under 3 weeks! It's been a whirlwind! but absolutely delightful!!!!

Hope you all at home are doing swimmingly!!! enjoy the fresh spring air!!!

EUROPE!!!!!!

Chel and I arrived in Holland on March 31st to the shock of a 30 degree drop in temperature! We were amazed to find that in the rest of the world cows don't rule the road and people actually stick to their own lane in traffic! We were quickly whisked away from the airport and arrived at Remijnses which was lovely! We got to wash our dreadfully dirty clothing in a WASHING MACHINE! Drink cups upon cups of tea and sleep in our own bed! We were also quickly indoctrinated in the european ways! We explored Rotterdam, rode bikes along the Kinderdijk and experienced the bustling city of Amsterdam! The rain has been a lovely though cold change, and we have come to the sad realization that we are loosing quite a bit of hair! What to blame it on we're not really sure, though lack of nutrition seems to be the biggest factor thus far! Tomorrow we are heading to Berlin which should be wonderful! Europe is beautiful though we've been dealing with quite the culture shock, eating breakfast in India and dinner in Holland, it all seemed to happen rather fast!

Well much love from us baldys!

Have a beautiful day!
