good luck with your exam tomorrow. we're sending you lots of love and clear thinking from shanghai. there is a pub in brooklyn that you'd like that sells deep fried twinkies! I can't wait to see you. I'm so glad I get to give you a big hug on your return.
wow! Max, your photographs are really good! Keep shooting! If you can't use flash, turn your setting to IS (image stablilization) as high as you can (2-400). xoxo bontemps!
Wow Awesome. Wish I were there. Belgium looks so interesting and it's been years since I've smoked hash in Amsterdam (just kidding -- I was there with my parents, so how much hashing could i do, anyway?) Glad you're having a terrific spring break. You look happy (and appropriately contemplative at Anne Frank's house.) Goethe! Amazing. You have to read his books now. That's part of the arrangement! Have fun in Paris.
Great Weekend! Sounds like you had a great time. Who knew the sea was that close to Dublin? We wondered where it was when we saw the movie "Once."
Glad to see you haven't completely lost your senses and participate in celtic karoake. That might be the time to get your little butt home! Good luck on all the papers.
And regarding spring break ..... "Stay Alive!!!!!" Sounds cool.
Brrrrrrrr Maaaaaxxxxxx! Did you say FLOWERS? This time of year, they are probably crocuses. ENJOY THEM. Here is what you are missing in Iowa: cold, snow, ice, snow, cold, snow, ice, snow, brief 10 minute glint of sunshine, snow, cold, ice....aaaaaand snow. You get the idea.
21st Birthday Max, glad you had a wonderful time on your 21st. Thanks for showing your Aunt Lynda a great time while she was there. Wish I could have made the trip.
Take care, Jerry
You are.... SO LUCKY to have such a cool family. I wish I had a family like that. (Oh, wait, I AM in that family....) So what's the trick? You got people to fly across the ocean to come see you, I can't get a living soul to come to Des Moines, what's up with that? It looks like you guys had a fantastic time and I'm so glad you had a terrific visit with them!!!!!!!!
Max, Really enjoying your blog. I am asking Lynda and your mother to buy you a few pints for me on your birthday and to toast in my behalf. Wish I could be there. Have a great time and Happy 21st to you in advance. Jerry in freezing Ohio!
Brrrrrr here in the Midwest! Maxwell Smart, good thing you are having a terrific time in Scotland and are NOT in Iowa right now! We are having a doozy of a winter storm, stuff is closing down everywhere, it's just winter in Iowa and you know how that can suck. Wish I was where you are! Sounds like you are having a great time. Stuff you'll remember forever! (Or at least until your Alzheimer's kicks in in another 60 years or so.....) : ) Don't forget to go to a haunted castle while you are there!
Glad the studying thing is kicking in! Sounds like a nice weekend! Seems like you're really immersing in school. Glad you're thinking about studying, too! (spoken like a true mom.) Love this blog. It's just like being there with you. I can't wait to be there with you ON VACATION!! It will be very fun.
Wow! What a great weekend. We here in Ohio all enjoyed reading your travelogue. Glad the hostel wasn't like anything in those teen horror movies. Seems like fun. Perhaps your celtic dancing skills will improve over the next 5-6 months! Great pictures. Did you buy the CD of your favorite celtic music so you can share it with all of us?
Glad Edinburgh is so pretty and that you like it better.
Looking forward to seeing you next weekend!!!!!
