The amount of Photo Posts on this blog are beginning to exceed my regular posts. It’s clear that I’m really doing a lot more travel and a larger amount of photo taking lately. By the way, I was supposed to have my really cool photo blog online by now but I decided to buy a Chicken Coop instead…it’s a nice chicken coop. The photo blog will happen this summer. I promise.<\/p>\n

On May 14th and I’m still here. I went to Europe for the 2nd time in 7 months. I had planned on going back sooner but work things kept me stateside which isn’t really a bad thing. I spent the two weeks instead hanging out in the mountains of New Hampshire, snowboarding and asking Elizabeth if she’d be my girlfriend so I’m sure she’s glad I was in The US for that.<\/p>\n

This time, in my typical style, I didn’t just go to Europe I took over Europe for 11 days. After 3 days in Gent Belgium, I spent 3 days in Northern France and then spent one night each in Bruges and Brussels. Finally, I am spending 3 more days in Amsterdam and I fly back to America on Wednesday. This has been quite a week.<\/p>\n

New places mean TONS of photos. I was going to wait for my return to post this so I’d include photos of Amsterdam but I have been here for two days and haven’t taken any photos yet. I don’t know, it ‘s just not really a big deal. I was here for two weeks last year and took thousands of photos and uploaded 500 of them. I just don’t feel like it but it’s also that I’ve been very busy at work.<\/p>\n

(Wow! That was a lot of pre-text for a basic photo post. Let’s move on!)<\/p>\n

I had the most amazing time in Europe this week. I may have a few photos of Amsterdam before I leave but honestly, I’ve been here before and photographed quite a bit. I can certainly do more but I’ve been busy with work.<\/p>\n

Also, upon returning to the USA, I’m going to be working the same day I get back and then this weekend, I’m installing a chicken coop, planting my garden and preparing to build a smoker grill in my back yard. Just lots going on so I wanted to get this done before I went back and since he plane doesn’t have Wi-Fi, I can’t do it on there.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I hope this is sufficient and I hope you all the photos.<\/p>\n
