Spring Break Recap

Adam and I were busy, busy, BUSY the last two weeks. We had the opportunity to see a lot of Europe over Spring Break. Between cheap flights, good exchange rates and bunking up in someone's living room, we were able to visit Amsterdam, Prague and London. I know, it's a tough life, but someone has to do it.

Amsterdam was a beautiful city. The canals and architecture kept us strolling around all day. We dodged millions of bikes. We were hoping to see the tulip fields in all their glory, but only the daffodils were blooming. We enjoyed their glory instead. We also visited the Anne Frank Huis, a museum in the office building that housed the Secret Annexe during WWII.

We drove to Prague with our good friends, the Welbourn's and shared an apartment with limited hot water. We toured the Jewish Quarter, enjoyed the beautiful views of the city and skyline, the Easter markets, and Bohemia Bagel. Bagels. Yum!

We visited London with our friends from sunny CA, the Halversons. We did the tourist thing, riding the Tube, visited Big Ben, Tower of London, changing of the guard, Shakespeare's Globe, ate fish 'n chips. The highlight was visiting Stonehenge. That was a check on the Life To Do list.

We returned to the beginning of Spring here in Kandern. The walkway to our front door has exploded with flowers, tulips even. We went all the way to Amsterdam and they are blooming at our front door.

The last few days have been warm and sunny. We were finally able to bust out the flip flops and walk around without a coat. It is glorious. We bought flowers from the Blumen field and hiked in the Black Forest.

And now, tomorrow it is back to the grind. I got tired after about 30 minutes of work today. I hope my stamina increases exponentially by tomorrow. 30 minutes won't even get me through 1st period!
