amsterdam (day 2) england (day 3)

time dilation where hours can strech forever made day 2 in amsterdam seem like i have been away from the states for weeks. wonderful excursions into the city and a couple of walks through the red light district were highlights to a cold day that ended with a search for pastries in the rain.

sleep came easily enough and today found us at the airport catching a flight for england. london feels really different then amsterdam. more pretention in the air. more things that i recognize. definitly faster paced. dinner was good (if expensive) but considering the food in amsterdam, a nice change.

attmepting now to finalize plans for new years, trying to figure out where on earth we are going to go. tomorrow is going to be an attempt to take in some of the tourist stuff and get a good selection of pictures. i have been remembering to take them, but most of them are turning out to be buildings. since amsterdam will be visited again, i will attempt to get some photos of the more interesting parts (like the red light district) before we leave town.

phone number is the same, the europeans definatly have that part right.
