London's Calling

This set requires some explaining. We had an awlful time in the Chunnel, Nick thought it might be cool and didn't look for alternate means of getting from Paris to London. Well, the Chunnel is overpriced and we were stuck somewhere between the two places for over four hours. When I found out that flying would have been tons cheaper, I was a little miffed.

To make amends, he brought me the only flower he could find:

Our first view of London itself, how touristy:

This is Nick in the hotel looking all pissed at me because I was being stubborn:

After making up, we decided to go meet my good friend Neene. She was over there on a study abroad program:

We walked through Chinatown, London style:

And then had dinner with Neene and her posse:

The rest of these pictures were from our trip to Leeds Castle, the prettiest as they claim. Tons of pictures, but I only feel like posting these:

The day after Leeds, we explored around London with Neene. These are few in front and around Buckingham Palace:

And then, of course, the penis shot. In Amsterdam it was the national tower, in Paris, the effiel, and in London, Cleopatra's Needle:

More Amsterdam

Sorry these are so dark, it was taken with an old camera and I didn't have the patience to mess with each one in Photoshop. Bad me, I know. I posted that picture of the empty dishes because Nick and I talk often of going back to Amsterdamn just for that breakfast. Incredible teas, breads and jams. It was so effing good!

Great Heights

Technically, we live in Bothell, WA and so does this kid. Bloody great. I wish I had that drive.

Hope your New Year's went well. I'm working on some of the pictures from our trip last year. Here's one of them.

Tulips!

Thanks for all the kind words folks. Off to three interviews today. Wanted to share a picture of Nick in a field of tulips I took last year.

It reminds me that exactly a year ago he surprised me with a trip to three European cities. I'll post some of those pictures when I return.

3am

My throat aches, body aches and I cannot sleep. Trying to surf the internet but I feel my retinas being burned by some awful coloured pages. I swear most people are more colour blind than I thought.

I'm feeling weepy and depressed and chances are if I keep typing, I'll type something that I will regret in the morning once I've slept a bit. Instead, here are some pictures from a trip we took several weekends ago to Winthrop, WA. Scary place, redone in a old west theme ... but that weekend was the first day of the hunting season. I was scared.

Driving up, there were some trees:

We stayed in a log cabin:


And a picture of a sticker Nick got in Moab that he's proud of:
