Jet Set Jessica
Hi Jess, Keep going like this and you will end up visiting more of the planet than I have in 25 years in the military! I hope you conitnue to enjoy yourself! I'll see you next week in Vancouver.

Very perceptive Jess. We are so lucky to live in the country we do, and unfortunately there are those of us that take it for granted. Welcome back! Love Uncle Dave

My days will be much the poorer without the anticipation of finding a new blog entry from you. I very much look forward to seeing you in person in the near future. Love Mom

Da Vinci
Has it been so long that you forgot the DaVinci exhibit at the Royal BC Museum? It was only a very good forgery (err, reproduction) but there was a convincing Mona Lisa that you were within a few feet of, rather than a 30' glance at the real thing. Like you, I much preferred the smaller museums of Europe that had some remarkeable and even famous art that could be examined closely and at leisure. And some of the greatest works were in the churches. Enjoy your last night. "Now, blessings light on him that first invented sleep!"

Not everyone is bored by science
Why sometimes I watch Daily Planet twice a day. By the way, Jess, I'm scheduled to judge the Science Fair the same weekend as Robbie's wedding. And for all you Canadians, Kelly Scott is defending our honour at the World Championship of Curling in Japan on Sunday. With the time difference, its on at 10 Saturday night here. I said she looked unstoppable at the start of the Scottie and she has only lost one game in 2 tournaments since. Look out 2010. Looking forward to seeing you next week, Jess.

OK. We've been in suspense long enough - What happened after the beer was blessed by god? Did you connect with your friends in the Alps? What was on display at the Red Cross Museum? Looking forward to an update.

memorable place names
Hi Jess, Elps Kwelps - what a great name when pronounced by a Canadian tongue. Is the Dutch/French/German pronunciation equally smile-inducing?

Berlin Wall
I know it dates me a bit, but I can remember watching on TV as the wall came down near the Brandenburg Gate. A friend of mine was actually there that New Years and brought me home a little piece of it. When I visited Germany, I couldn't cross from West to East, so I envy you the opportunity!!! Enjoy your travels and keep posting!

Sorry
What a great website ! However...that parking lot is indeed where Hitler was set in a shallow trench and burned...but he isn't buried there. The Russians removed the charred remains of which a piece of Hitlers craniun and dental bridge are all that remain. By the way, the Hotel Adlon doormen are cool about letting you in to check it out. Iv'e been to the big "B" many times and on both sides before the wall came down.

toast
Loved the toast story. So nice to know that absent-mindedness is not my exclusive domain within the family. Maybe toast abstinence can be your default item for Lent. I also got a chuckle from your stories about your friends' broken Lent commitments - the road to hell... Hope you enjoyed Nelly. Best wishes, Mom

My suggestion for a title is "Even Vegans like Carnivale in Maastrich"

Hockey and blimps just naturally go together ;) The Canucks have a flying whale. http://www.norburnrc.com/flyingwhales.htm Sounds like a Salmon Kings game. Always a good time.
