Mom and I arrived in Amsterdam to find the "Bitch", as we so fondly refer to her now, at the hotel screwed up our reservation (long winded story ahead)...and this weekend is the tulip parade and gay fest in town, so there weren't any hotels for miles around the city. Eventually we end up where we are now ...in the middle of nowhere and nothing to do. BUT free internet and a bar in the lobby...(and even a few cute boys) so this may not be the last time some of you hear from me...tonight...I think I will be very bored....besides the boys...but they always seem dull these days...so I will be surprised if that would be different tonight.

Paris, on a lighter note, was utterly amazing!!! As stated to many of you before, my mom and I walked for 5+ hours some days...and I mean hoofing it, We saw so much of the city in two days we had to figure out what exactly we wanted to do on the last day as we had checked off everything on our list that we wanted to see...luckily we found the Matisse showing in our quarter and thoroughly enjoyed soaking that in for a few hours. Next time we bring a pedometer...but it's good because we walked off all that cheese, chocolate and wine my aunt fed us in the alps.

Our night walks were My favorite...at certain times of the night the Eiffel tower sparkles like a christmas tree and watching from a bridge over the Seine while tour boats and colored lights fill the darkness was magical. Even the romance was ok sometimes...couples everywhere, it's hard not to feel lonely...especially with all the making out everywhere...in restaurants, parks, the burger joints, museums, street corners, clothing shops....just spontaneous kissing and caressing everywhere. UGH...but I guess it goes with the territory. 

Nutella crepes are better then sex.

And in Paris you can get hot latin shirtless guys with fire to serve you drinks!!
