Before we begin

April 8th:
I've been home for almost a week now. I got through the bin of US mail, the screens of email messages. I reacquainted myself with the house, found my to do lists - but dad's estate checkbook is MIA - where did I hide it??? I got the taxes done. I'm sitting pretty after a whirlwind three week European tour.

Amsterdam, Munich, Salzburg, Zurich, Milan, Bern, Lisbon, Madrid, Paris, Luxembourg, Brussels and Amsterdam again.

I've toyed with ways to present my diaries, pictures and videos. Should I just go ahead and fill everyone's inbin with my pictures. Who wouldn't like 4 or 5 megabytes of pictures of ME? Here is my AFTER calendar and the first page of my journal (who can decypher that chicken scratch?).

Looking at these, its best if I take my time and publish it via blog. No matter how I try to organize it, its going to look like a bunch of half thoughts and nice,yet meaningless (to you) pictures. But after 10 countries in 20 days - what do you expect. I barely had time to fall asleep before the next day began.

First Stop - AMSTERDAM!
