Finally... Our Europe Pictures

Hello dedicated readers (you must be dedicated if you are checking this website after our 1 month hiatus!).

Holly and I have settled into our home in Maryland. We've finally gotten high-speed internet and the time to put up the long-ago-promised Europe pictures that we took from our vacation last month. I went through and pulled 132 pictures out of the over 2,200 pictures we took that best captured our vacation. We saw so much that we couldn't possibly cram all the pictures online... but hopefully these pictures will represent the scope of what we saw during our time overseas.

As the house gets fully settled, we'll post back in a week or two with house pictures with our stuff in it. It's really starting to take shape. Plus, I'm sure that Holly will be posting pictures of her sweet office at McDaniel.

Until then, this should be enough to keep you busy:

Europe Trip -- Rome - Paris - London

Back in the USA

Holly and I are back to the States and safe after an interesting fight home. We're now putting our energy fully into getting ready for the big move. We'll be putting pictures from our vacation up sometime in the next couple of weeks, once we've gotten settled in Maryland and Jenn's wedding is over.

Stay tuned!

Still Surviving

Hi everyone,

I wanted to make my own post to tell you that (despite a constant schedule from 9 AM to 9 PM everyday) Jason hasn't killed me yet. There have been some minor injuries (the aforementioned sprained ankle, etc), but nothing major. After our last 12 hour day (by 8:30 PM at the Louvre), Jason was kind enough to tell me that I could go home.... if I was bleeding!!!! :) He's been pretty tough on me, but we've seen EVERYTHING, so it's been worth it. Talk to you all when we get home. Love you!

Holly

Survived Paris, now in London...

After 3 action-packed days in Paris, we are now in London. Safe, but definitely feeling like we've walked the probably 10 miles a day that we've been averaging.

We've been able to navigate two cities and as many languages succesfully, but are happy to be back to where the keyboard is at least somewhat typeable, the food is mostly cooked, and museums, street signs, and metro stops are all in English.

Some numbers for our trip so far...

Average temperature in Rome: 90's
Average temperature in Paris: Rain and low 60's
Temperature today in London: Sunny and 70's (after leaving 60's in Paris earlier in the day).

Pictures taken: ~ 1,400

Recognition from strangers regarding Jason's OSU t-shirts:
Rome (3-days wearing OSU shirts): 3
Paris (2 1/2 days wearing OSU shirts--partially covered by coats): 7
London (1/2 day so far): 1... she went to Malabar High School back in the day.

See you all when we get back!
