Vacation's over

Well I'm back home - I've been back for a bit now, but I'm still trying to get used to working...it's never easy! You should see the piles of stuff on my desk.

We had a really fun time in Amsterdam even though we battled with the rain, and poor E had her own battle with a particularly nasty bit of salmon.

ok ready for some pictures - they aren't the best since it was pretty grey out most of the time.
Here is the top of the palace at Dam Square.

This picture, to me, really represents Amsterdam - Canals, canal houses, and lots and lots of bikes!

I couldn't pass up the smoking Alien...he wasn't about to share!

This is the ferry that E and I took every day. Our hotel was located in the Noord neighborhood - it was very nice but it was a 15min walk to the ferry, although once off of the ferry we were right at central station. Luckily the hotel offered either a ride to the ferry or on certain days a ride right into the city proper.

Anne Frank statue - if you go to Amsterdam you MUST visit the Anne Frank house.

The Atomaton in Brussels -built for the 1958 worlds fair....very cool. I'm ready for another vacation - a vacation from my vacation - maybe mexico...laying on the beach drinking frosted margaritas!

I have a ton of photos but I can't seem to upload anymore - stupid blogger!

I also have finished objects...are you amazed? shocked? so am i! I'll get them up soon.

Also, thank you to everyone who has commented on the last few posts - not only have I been crazy with the trip, work, and then my performance - but I haven't been getting my email posts - so thank you - I'm trying to get back to all of you soon -= I just want to let you know I appreciate it.
