On the Road
In case you might be curious, tumbledry is going on the road for a while! I’m off to Amsterdam and Barcelona for a wonderful week with my family. It should be grand. I’m taking the camera with, so naturally I’m hoping for some fantastic shots. However, I will settle for mediocre shots that are foreign-looking.
Feel free to mill around in my absence — I’ll try to keep tabs on you guys and girls via internet kiosks.
Onward!

Have fun Alex. If you run into any candy shops, grab yourself a “Happy Hippo.” They taste awfully delicious but they look hilarious as well. I am jealous about Amsterdam, I only have been in the airport but thoroughly enjoyed the flies painted on the urinals.

I second Dan’s suggestion of a Happy Hippo. And when you grab yourself one, eat one for me too! Those were the best things I have ever tasted and I would go back to Germany just for that.

Hope you have a grand time in abroad Alex. I loved Amsterdam when I was there 3 years ago but have never had the pleasure of being in Spain, so make sure you shoot the hell out of Barcelona so I can vicariously experience it through your pictures.

Ohh, there is a great picture opportunity place in Barcelona. Well, I am sure there are many but I am thinking of one in particular. A famous architect (Gaudi is his name I believe) has a fantastic park that is filled with his designs. Everything is curved and flows almost as if it is made of silly putty being stretched. It is hard to describe but I am certain you will find what I am talking about. The park is quite famous and there are plenty of opportunities for pictures. Gaudi also designed the Sagrada Familia, probably the most famous landmark in the city. I am really excited for any picture updates now!

I am back, jetlagged, and going to a wedding tonight. BUT I will be editing down the nearly 1 gig of pictures I’ve returned with INCLUDING the hell I shot out of Barcelona (got both the park and Cathedral that Dan mentioned). Missed out on Happy Hippo (didn’t see it ANYWHERE).
Pictures will be back-posted to the last picture update date, so you’ll see an explosion of new pictures, and then new daily pictures. More on the trip to follow.
