So, one day my nephew Jacob tells me he wants to go to Europe…
I had applied for a passport for a possible trip to Israel. I didn’t have it yet. I told him if I did, I’d love to go with him. He was sorry, but was going anyway. Then, something changed his mind… Luckily, the second time he brought it up, I did have a passport. Looks like I get to go along.
We’re going on the cheap. Not sure how we’ll get around. We’re both noodle-legged, so we might end up sleeping under trees where our legs gave out. We’re taking backpacks, little money, and a sense of adventure. Wish us luck!

Jess- I live in Amsterdam now, so if you make it up here, you must stay with me and my girlfriend. I’m the manager at Crumpler bag shop right now, so come there before 6pm and I can give you a key to our place. Crumpler is on a lovely street called Haarlemmerdijk, #31 — a 15 minute walk from Central Station. After 6, I and some friends will be heading to a nice bar/restaurant with cheap eats called ‘Cafe du Lac’, right up the street on Harlemmerstraat 118. So if you can’t make it to my store, come there. then around 10 we may hit Sugar Factory or Club 8. I also have a free museum pass for you to see VanGogh, Anne Frank, and dozens of other museums. The area (the Jordaan) is amazing! Looking forward to giving you a big hug. Your pal, Scott

Thank you for the offer Scott, but we had to go someplace further away from Brussels.

I had to turn off the map widget, because it took so long to load we didn’t have time to post. I was going to put it back up, but decided against it. Just use the link below our pictures.
