Picture #2 NOTE: no drugs were used in the making of this picture! All conspicuous looks herein are purely representational of factious stereotypes set by modern society.

Today Alex and I went the ''heineken Experience'' in Amsterdam. It cost 10 euro and they gave us 3 half pints of heineken to drink and one half pint souvenir glass with a comefy tin can to place it in. I am I firm affirmation that Heineken spent a ghastly amount of money to provide a tour that 5 year olds would be amused with, then fall asleep from boredom of Gertrude Heinekens life...whatever that may be. The highlights of the trip were the beer, the fooseball table, the pictures and video machines which are supposed to send the photos/video to my email and the young pretty lady that got happy Alex and I were playing chess and drinking beer. ooooh! We were fortunate enough to become a bottle of heineken and live through the manufacture process....I made lots of frightened noises (seeing as I was an inanimate glass heineken bottle being filled with some strange liquid) and cheered when I became beer...The guy that ran that show told me how spectacular my noises were and mentioned something about getting a free beer but I didn't catch his instructions of how to do so, much less his name. When all was said and done we went home slightly inebriated and had attained a useless artifact from heineken...Which I ought to dispose of someplace...Maybe a pretty girl will be impressed with my half pint glass and give me a kiss for it.

BEER

Current Location: Edinburgh, Scotland
Gotten laid yet? What a superficial question that only elucidates the shallowness of the question and the answer....NO...Haven't met that special girl yet...haha I've been saying that all my life...Well maybe she's actually back home(USA) in (...Secrets...) or she could be elsewhere.

alright folks I love you all you know I do. This life is amazing, traveling! I've had so much fun in this 3 weeks its truly bliss. The 3 day Scotland tour that we finished yesterday was incredible. We went to some really fun places ie: fairly glen, McDonald Castle (ruins)--the wind was blowing fiercely, the castle is on the edge of a cliff high up over the ocean, we would jump into the wind and let the wind carry us, went in a dungeon--, swam in lochness a lake where you couldn't fill it if you multipled the earths population of humans by 3 1/2 and stuck them in there. It's very deep and nessie lives there! Well back in Edinburgh for two days, this city is really beautiful, old Gregorian architecture I believe (name might be off) but it's one of the oldest cities and its astonishing I really wish I could live here. It makes London look like scum.

I've successfully consumed alcohol everynight (with no ill effects aftwards) I've been here except one day (the day we left isle of wight at night, so I forgive myself). I must say I can hold my liquor better each day...sadly that means my tolerance is also growing, and beer is really growing on me. These local brews are delicious Scotland brews some good beer. I guess I have to make up for all those years I didn't drink, rather get pissed illegally, here in the states. I lament the day when I can't enter a bar in the states...Oh well pubs are 10 times better-- I mean just compare the name Pub (or tavern) vs Bar--HA HA no contest.

I'm trying to speak like 50 types of engish and Scottish accents. And none of them are really going to well. A least that's the general consensus from Alex and hoku. We're really getting into the Scottish accent. It's a lot of fun.

well cats and dogs I really just wanted to say how much I love beer and now that I have no choice but to spend money on it because of my growing thirst for it. I had dinner without a beer the first night in Scotland and I ate pining away for the taste of BEER! Well love you all enjoy maybe I'll post some pictures if a find a computer to do it at.

fnsdfnjkasdfjn3jknj, mutters somthing in galic (which i actually forgot, but it makes no difference to you)...that means see you later.

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...



Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...



You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as
one



Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...



You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one.

Seven Days Until Our Gypsy Odyssey Begins

Heh, well slight change of plans everyone...Which is certainly to be expected...
Due to basically us not getting our act together, greyhound tickets went up $100 in a night, which put the price right next to Amtrak and the Airlines. So on September 6th, 2005 we will fly to New York, and depart to London the next day! Aside from the extra $100 I am happy of this change mostly. I did have a desire to ride the Amtrak for two days, it is quite a nice experience. Roomy, lots of people to chat with, and very scenic...Oh well, this way we don't spend $money$ on expensive or low nutritional foods and we have an extra three days to chill, prepare and say goodbye to Santa Fe, NM; and I get to work another Saturday and Sunday which means mucho dinero!!!

I have Cryptic tonsillitis, which means I have little ravines in my tonsils allowing bacteria to easily get trapped and thus infect, Which explains why my tonsils keep getting inflamed. Well my good doctor told me what I need to do to keep my tonsils healthy over the next 10 months. The following mixture must be gargled twice a day for the next three weeks and three times a week for the next ten months: 1/4tsp salt, 2 tablespoons Hydrogen peroxide, and 8oz water. A hastle yes, but a life saver indeed! Accompanied with my fun shots I should be a healthy boy for the next ten months.

That about does it for me.
Good night

Colin
