And the second location of our trip is… The Netherlands!! We’ll be in Haarlem, a city with rave reviews on LonelyPlanet and right outside of Amsterdam. Now the fun part (not), paperwork for our visas. *photo taken from lonelyplanet.com
These guys have been hanging out in the Aurajoki river for the past couple of months. They have something to do with the art on display for the Capital of Culture, but i’m not sure what the rollerbladers sporting backpacks balanced on top of the birds have to do with it. They’re a bit creepy … More Big Birds
Outside of the United States there is a phenomenon going on…cycling.

Though both Britt and I sometimes (almost always) disagree with the way that some (most) Americans conduct themselves, we were feeling a bit patriotic today (we missed our family and the celebrations that go along with the 4th) and in order to celebrate we made the most American meal that we could for dinner. Nothing … More “I Am America, and So Can You!”
This storm rolled through Turku last night and it was awesome! There was a ton of lightning and thunder, and it was the closest that we’re going to get to a firework show this year. Happy 4th of July to everyone back in the States!!
