Update 1

Hi, boys and girls. So this is the first chance to update this, and I have a lot of pictures but cannot upload them here. Anyways, we had some major complications with flights, and long story short never fly US Airways. We got stranded in Boston, then Philly overnight, and eventually had to take another flight to Montreal and almost Detroit. We (and the other 200 passengers) were jerked around all night and finally told to leave the aiport or they would call the police. Eventually we arrived in Paris late, after missing the first day in Amsterdam. No matter, we had the most amazing dinner at Le Taillevent and our hotel room was upgraded to some huge, fancy suite at the Hyatt. As many of you know, I proposed to Liz that night and she said yes. (She likes her ring.) We spent a few days more in Paris and saw/did a ton of stuff and had so much fun. We left this morning, and took the super-fast (and quiet!) train through the French countryside, Brussels, Antwerp, Rotterdam, and more to Amsterdam. It rained a bit yesterday and some brief downpours over the days, but the weather has been fantastic... not too hot or cold. We just had some nice dinner at an Irish pub of all places, and are now getting acquainted with our hostel. We're on the top floor in our own little dorm-room, with quite a nice view of the park below. Anyways, I'll try to upate a bit more now until we leave here. Not sure where the next computer will be. Later!
