It was not a vacation though. I was working. We took a research boat the Coral Reef II to the Bahamas to search for something called submarine hardgrounds. These are cemented areas of sediment that are important to facilitate coral and Stromatolite growth.

I would encourage anyone with the means and time to explore the world. It is not always easy or cheap but I have memorizes that will last a life time. Anyways I hope you enjoy more of these pictures. Alex and I had a lot of fun in Amsterdam. There is so much culture and history there it is quite extraordinary. I http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Greater-London/blog-192070.html Hey Everyone Alex and I have just arrived in Amsterdam after a 10 hour night train ride here. I will try and post a few pictures of each of the places I have been to give you a better idea of what you might have missed while this site was down. Unfortunately I can not post the Canyoning pictures which are amazing pictures which you should check out when you have a chance to see me or if I http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Netherlands/North-Holland/Amsterdam/blog-190490.html Hey Everyone I am sorry that I have not posted anything for a while. I have a good reason...the entire website crashed. I have lost a lot of my travel blogs and at the moment do not have the time to restore them. Currently I do not think I am able to post any pictures either. I am really sorry. Since the last time I have posted Alex and I have done so many amazing things. We spent some t http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Germany/Bavaria/Munich/blog-189529.html So we have finally arrived in Slovenia. That's right Alex and I although I did all the driving have gone by car from Dubrovnik all the way to Postojna Slovenia. The drive along the coast of Croatia was very beautiful. We had the opportunity to stop in various random towns and cities and really see what the country is like. They have a very interesting culture and I have enjoyed learning about http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Slovenia/blog-186243.html Well I am currently on Brac Island in the Adriatic sea. Things are going well for Alex and I after many adventures. It has only been a few days since my last posting but it feels like it has been a long time. The bus from Kotor to Dubrovnik was awful. It was completely full and we ended up having to sit on the floor for half the trip. The bus got in nearly 4 hours late. We ended up taking a http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Croatia/Dalmatia/Brac/blog-185544.html Greetings from the newest country in the world. After finally getting a haircut from a women that does not speak language I decided to get online to try and get a car rental for Alex and my travel in Croatia. While we really enjoyed Belgrade it was time to move on. The train from Belgrade to Bar Montenegro was long but very pretty.

Also it is not as cheap as we expected. It is however a very charming city with a lot of friendly people and nice sites. I would highly recommend it if you are in the area. I do not ha http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Serbia/West/Belgrade/blog-183066.html Well the end of one portion of my traveling has come to a close. Today I said goodbye to the entire Weinstein clan. We had a nice time together in the Greek Isles. Crete seems like a great place but unfortunately partly due to weather and planning I just did not get to see a lot of it. It was nice walking through the main city of Heraklion with the family though. Today I flew from Crete to Athe http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Serbia/West/Belgrade/blog-182700.html Well after an interesting few days the Weinstein family has finally made it out of Santorini. Not that it was a bad place. On the contrary we had a wonderful time. The geography was absolutely breathtaking. We had a great time just going to the beaches and taking it easy. We also enjoyed some of the Archaeological sites such as Ancient Thira.

It certainly does not feel like a holiday here. That's ok. Things are going great in Italy. We have gone to some amazing museums such as the Bargello the Uffizi the Medici Chapel and the Pitti Palace. We have seen art from all the ninja turtles Michelangelo Donatello Rachael and Leonardo. We have also seen the Duomo and the Boboli gardens. It is a very beautiful pla http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Tuscany/Florence/blog-177068.html After quite some excitement Debra and I have made it to Florence. We had a nice last day in Rome. We went to the Borgese Museum. It had some amazing sculptures by Bernini. Some real famous ones. After that we walked in the park a bit and made it to the train station for our train to La Spezia.. on our way to Cinque tera..so we though.

Debra and I are just trying to figure out our plans. I have a bit more time to talk. I arrived in Pisa from Sardinia a few days ago and picked up my car.
