london to paris (days 4 to 6)

sitting in an internet cafe in paris. we got here yesterday afternoon and did a quick tour of the city today. actually we did an amazingly quick tour of the city today. right now we are trying to figure out what we are going to do with the rest of our trip, if we are going to try and leave paris today and seek out a show to see, or if we are going to head to amsterdam tomorrow and try and get a museum in before we have to go to the airport. london more fit my mood than paris is, but it is the first place where english is not as common, so is probably the place where i feel the most foreign so far. i think that i may try and spend some time on my own tomorrow whether it be here or in route somewhere, or wherever we end up. i need some time where i am not wondering about the state of my travel companions.

oh and my phone number is different again. 044 7876326397.

ick...

cold has settled into a nice "you need to quit that smoking thing" cough that i know too well. work has finally started to make progress. there is nothing like throwing away 2 weeks worth of work (minus the knowledge gained by trying to make a system do something that is impossible) because it just isn't possible. i am pretty beat, but my spirits are still pretty good. i trust that next week will take care of that little problem.

the other day i was taking care of a ticket that i got last month for turning left where there was a sign saying that i shouldn't and saw a pretty interesting sign at the orange county courthouse. it read "this building is dedicated to the use of the citizens of orange county." while i know what they are trying to say here, i could not help but laugh.

europe images...

finally some images are up from my trip to europe. i have decided to only put up a subset of the some 300 images that i took. dunno, really don't feel like working on so many. today the pictures that i have chosen from amsterdam are up.

amsterdam was a really interesting stop on the trip. yes, smoking pot is legal in the city. yes prostitution is legal. no, the clubs are not any good (at least the two we visited on the night we went out). essentially, "natural" drugs are legal. this essentially means pot, hash, and mushrooms. harder drugs are quite illegal as are club drugs. the coffee houses varied in decor from places that look like friday's to places that look like coffee shops. i guess people like different things.

the red light district turned out to be a bit more of a let down than i thought it would be. it was interesting to see though. walking through alleys with sliding glass doors with women in bras and panties. the areas of the red light district seemed to be laid out based on taste. you like older women, this area, asian women, that one. strange all the same.

i liked amsterdam. the feel of it reminded me of seattle and the weather was no objection to that similar feeling. chill, laid back. a good place to start a trip.

more later...
