A Journal of our Travels

We were living in Chicago until we decided it was time to branch out. See our entries below to find out where we are now...

On the way to recovery

Thanks for all your comments. We should hopefully have the computer back in a week. We shipped it to somewhere in Germany and they are supposed to mail it back to Nadirah in Amsterdam.
In the meantime, I´ll give you a little taste of the highlights:
  1. White Stripes in Lisbon.
  2. Seeing people wear traditional clothing in Innsbruck Austria... when it wasn´t for tourists.
  3. Rome has so many ´ruins´ that some of them arent even tourist attractions. We spent the most time at the ruins that had a cat sanctuary in front of it. TJ cannot walk by a furry animal and not touch it.
  4. Beer in Munich... it´s never tasted so fresh. A bike tour is so much more fun after a stop at the beer garden
  5. Visiting Rachel and Andy in Oslo. I´m sure if the king and queen had been around, they would have welcomed me to Oslo with open arms... being a St. Olaf grad and all. Andy´s new nickname (given to him by a random women at the bar that kept talking to us, we assumed later to be a prostitute) - ghetto tiger.
And a few of the lowlights:
  1. 60 spanish 15 year olds sharing the sleeping room with us on the ferry from Barcelona to Rome. They had like 2 chaparones who were just as bad as they were. I think the last one went to bed at 7am.
  2. A girl puking on the bus during the sound of music tour
  3. Rain in Oslo
  4. The prices in Copenhagen... We thought Oslo was bad. We had two hamburgers for lunch (no fries or drinks) that cost about 30 bucks. We ended up only spending 4 hours in Copenhagen because it was too expensive.
