You got a great car

Yeah, what's wrong with it today...I used to have one too...maybe I'll come and have a look...I really like your hairdo yeah, I'm glad you like mine too.

So not much new has been happening. I'm really confused as to who the random commenting people actually are...oy vey. Oh well.

Supposed to actually get down to putting my 16 rolls of film from England into a photo album this weekend. (And when did I take that vacation...? Oh right. A year and a half ago!)

Bother Sarah and get her to post. *cough cough*

Okay...vacation choices:

Choice A) London, Amsterdam, and Paris. 10 days...go see all the typical London sights, drive through Belgium to Amsterdam(oh, we woul dhave gone on a ferry crossing from the White Cliffs of Dover to Calais in France). Then we go to Voldendam(I've never heard of it...) where we see a clog-maker, cheese farm, and see windmills. Later, in Amsterdam, we will visit a diamond-polishing factory. Next, we go to Brussels to see a few sights, then to Paris. We'll visit the Champs Elysees, then other typical Paris sights. (Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower, etc)
Choice B) London, Paris, and Barcelona- 11 days- one again, typical London sights...then go across the English Channel to the Battlefields of WWI...then to Paris. Sightseeing tour...then an overnight train from Paris to Barcelona. In Barcelona, we'd see...Gaudi's 'Sargada Familia,' the Gothic Quarter, Christopher Columbus' Monument and the Ramblas. (plus free time to do our own sightseeing, of course).
Choice C) Dutch Masterpiece- 8 days, Arrive in Amsterdam, go to...Aalsmeer Flower Auction, tour IJsselmeer(that's what the book says...I have no idea if I typed that correctly!), go to Hoorn, go to Friesland Lake District...and a yacht-builing place...umm...to Giethoorn where we'll go on a boat trip through canals, then go to the Royal Palace of Het Loo...then...the Hoge Veluwe National Park to visit the Kro(with two dots above the o)ller Mu(two dots..)ller Museum(with many Van Gogh paintings!!! -Van Gogh is my favorite artist). Next we'd visit the Airborne Museum in Oosterbeek...(museum on WWII). Next...we'd go to a pewter factory, euromast tower, Royal Delft Pottery Factory, Peace Palace, tour the Hague, then go to Keukenhof. After that...we'd go tour Amsterdam on another boat trip, go to Rijksmuseum, and a Diamond Center.
Choice D) Wonders of Helsinki, St. Petersburg, and Moscow- 10 days- tour Helsinki...shop...sightseeing tour of Helsinki- go to see Finlandia Hall, the Senate and Market Squares, churches, then go to St Petersburg where we will see the Tsar's Winter Palace, Nevsky Prospekt, Peter and Paul Fortress, St. Isaac's Cathedral, the Russian museum, and the statue of Peter the Great. Also...Hermitage Museum...overnight train to Moscow, Red Square, St. Basil's Cathedral, and the Kremlin Walls. Two days to explore Moscow, then go home.

What should I do? I gave those to Dad to choose. Leaning towards the Holland one. Pawel said he would choose the London, Paris, and Barcelona if he were me. Logan said he would choose the London, Paris, and Amsterdam. Kevin liked the London, Paris, and Amsterdam...and also the Holland one, I think. *shrugs* You comment. Maintenant.

Au revoir.
