Boston's changing, seemingly overnight. But not. Maybe I just need to get myself downtown more often to appreciate all that's new about it.
Sometimes you need to have visitors to make you look around and think "Hey, I live in a great city!" |
|  | VT Quickie Scott (Shoman) came to town for the holidays, so we had a little VT Meet at The Border Cafe. Also in attendance were Tony (OnTheRoadGoombah), Emilie (EmilieNoel), Lauren (SullyBiz) and moi! |
Last major trips... In March '07 I went to Western Germany with my best friend which included a weekend in the Netherlands and a VT meet in Cologne where we met Win (rhineroll), Sabs (sabsi), Roy (Imaniac), Thomas (Seppoman) and Bene. It was great fun with a lot of laughs and were all impressed by everyone's knowledge of the 50 states.... Here's my Cologne page. |  | | It was great to meet everybody! |

|  | One place I could visit over and over again Spent a week in Leiden in Sept '06 - with a day trip to Amsterdam - for a wedding. The week was filled with fun, festivities, laughs and sunshine and lots of it! |
How to make friends I found VT as a result of researching my first solo trip, to Amsterdam. That's why I'm keeping this picture on my homepage. That plus the fact that it makes me laugh. I was taking a canal tour and as one does when one travels alone, I asked someone to take my picture. He was sitting across from me and my intent was that he take the picture from where he was. But noooo. He stood up, he moved back, he moved up, he aimed up he aimed down. He probably thought I wanted his family to be in the picture with me. Maybe he thought the family wanted to be in my picture. The result is what you see here. It looks as if I farted and everybody knew.... My Amsterdam Page |  | |
