Okay - I've snubbed all our beloved followers. I have no excuse other than work has been too busy and our internet connection at home is slower than smoke signals....
So follow me, my little lemmings, into today's blog entry.
First of all to recap last weekend - we spent last Saturday roaming around Thun which is quickly becoming my favorite village in Switzerland. Tons of stores, restaurants, canals - very fun to just waste the day away. On top of which the weather was absolutely perfect all day long. Saturday night I went to see a great funk band on Saturday night with Panos and his wife (Karen stayed home with a migraine). GREAT band - horrible name - "Dr. Best Goes Funky". It was a lot of fun just to see live music again. There just isn't much of a bar band scene in our area at all. Although we are at the beginning of the festival season where there are endless outdoor music festivals ever month of the summer, so we will be hitting our fair share of them, I'm sure.
Sunday was spent on our first real mountain hike as Karen described earlier. I don't have much to add except that you don't understand true humility until you've been passed on the trail 3 times by the same 80 year old couple. We would race to get ahead of them (to try and save face) but without fail they would pass us by again as we stopped for one of our many breaks! These people over here are in SHAPE at any age - we are such sorry, fat Americans!
Work this week has been, well, work. It sucks. 'Nuff said.
Which brings me to today. Thursday and Friday are holidays here (God I love the holiday system here!). In 1 hour we will be on a train headed for the airport and by dinner we will be in Amsterdam! Panos and his wife decided today to join us on our excursion and are wrapping up their travel details as we speak. Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Red Light District, China Town, Canal Tour, Cafe's - these are just a few of the things we plan to cram into the next 5 days. It should be a blast and I can't wait to get the HELL out of this office and start the vacation!
And by the way - I forgot my phone when I packed this morning so if you call me at all between now and next Monday, I will not get your message. Karen has her cell phone though, if anyone needs to reach us.
And I guess that is all for today, so I will leave you with this - http://www.ebaumsworld.com/be...
Ciao'

I hope you are saving all these entries. You should bring them to a publisher and have this put into a book. You guys are like Mr and Mrs Jacques Custo. Little drunker and alive but, similar.

Where's the post for the Amsterdam trip!?! Don't tell me you're really working... there should have been a whole day of screwing around the first day after a long weekend.
35 days until we fly over.
