It is a beautiful sunny day! We’ve lucked out w/the weather the whole time we’ve been here and in London too. It was supposed to rain the whole time we were in both places, but it hasn’t rained at all. Jo said it was raining in London before we got there. We’ve been walking around all day. I’m tired! Went to the Dolphins last night. That was alot of fun. We’re leaving tomorrow. I’m running out of minutes for this computer so I will go now :)

I forgot about trains. Roads and train tracks and bike paths and sidewalks are all one thing. It is very chaotic, but somehow manageable. Amsterdam is very fun. We went to the Van Gogh Museum today. It was very cool. Everything is very cool. There are tons of people out on the street w/canvases painting along some of the canals. Even though a whole bunch of them are painting the same scene, they all have totally different paintings! It is very fun to watch.

Amsterdam :)

We’re in Amsterdam now. It’s 8pm now. It’s 1 hour later than in London, 9 hours later than Oakland. We checked into our hotel. It’s pretty nice. Our room is very tiny. It’s like a little space pod. The bed is sort of in this cubby hole next to the window. It has a bathroom w/a shower which is very cool. We had some dinner - very excellent pizza w/the hugest capers I’ve ever seen on it. Now we’re at easyInternet cafe. They are everywhere here. Fast connections.

Leaving London

It’s 4:45am. More jetlag. Good thing Jo has a computer :) We’re leaving at around 11 for the airport. It only takes about an hour to get to Amsterdam. It will be very sad to say good-bye to Jo, but very fun to be in Amsterdam.

Soho was fun. Not as many queers as I was expecting, but some really good ‘tea and cakes’. I am really amazed about how there is such a strong feeling of history here. Something we don’t really have in the U.S. since it’s so new.

Diagon Alley

Add comment May 12th, 2004 1,125 views

Went to Covent Garden today. It was like walking into a story book. Kind of like Diagon Alley in Harry Potter. We got presents for Jo and some other folks and also went to the Doc Marten Store and got us some Docs. Had some cornish pasties. Now we’re back at Jo’s and soon gonna head out to Soho for high tea and queers. Tomorrow we’re going to Amsterdam. It will be very sad to say good-bye to Jo. It’s been so great seeing her :)
