OK, I am back and very well-rested from a wonderful trip to London and Amsterdam. I have to say this may have been my best vacation ever, and Barry definitely enjoyed his first trip to Europe. He commented that London was a hundred times better than he ever expected. While I dont know exactly what he expected, I think thats a rousing endorsement.
We had a number of chances to catch up with friends and former co-workers, which is always great. It was also my first real opportunity to be a shameless tourist in these cities which I had gone to for work many times (Ive been to London dozens of times). Among the sites visited in London are St. Pauls Cathedral, the British Museum, Tower of London, the London Eye and the list goes on. The trip to Amsterdam was a short one, and we visited Ann Franks house and took a canal boat ride. Like I said, we were shameless tourists.
Links to pictures will follow in the coming days or weeks once I get a chance to work some production magic. Weve got about 700 photos to look through, choose the best and do all the rotating and editing of these pictures. There is a strong bias towards buildings since Barry is really into different architectural styles.
