amsterdam

Sorry for the lack of updates. Internet availability has been limited and very expensive when available.

Z and I just got into Amsterdam after a quick 2 days in Brussels, Belgium. Time has flown by so far but we have been able to see a ton.

Had a good final day in Paris seeing Notre Dame, the Louvre (well, the outside of it at least) and really trekked our way off the beaten path.

A quick 1.5 hour train ride to Brussels and we dominated the city. Covered it all. Had one of the worst meals I have ever had (note to self: Europeans can't do American food). If the place is empty and offers you an English menu, you should look elsewhere. But we were starving and needed something to fill our guts.

Had a rough night with some cool Australians last night in Brussels. You always get a beer or two more than you anticipate when you are out with Aussies. But good times for sure. Might see them again in Amsterdam.

Well, off to explore. Amsterdam is actually a really nice place from my first observations. It is given a bad rap based on a small portion of the city from what I can tell. But I'll report back in a couple days.

So in short. We are alive and well and on schedule... whatever that means.

PEACE!
