July 29 - Homeward Bound

(John) For most of you, this message was posted while you were getting ready for bed on Thursday night. But, here in Amsterdam, it is 5:50 on Friday morning and we are headed to Schipol Airport. We have 16 hours of flying ahead of us. I'm not looking forward to it.

Thankfully, last night's dinner at Sing Singel Café was a wonderful way to end our travels. It was a tiny place with only 20 seats inside and out. The entire menu was written on chalkboard. I had the cheese fondue and Gene had short ribs. Yummmmm! And all that food came at a very reasonable price.

Now we are subject to airline food, cramped conditions, and long hours. Oh well, I'm willing to make the sacrifice for all the woderful memories, seven hours of video, 800 photos, and pages upon pages of journal writing. Bon voyage Europe!
