Women - are you warm and cuddly by nature?
Men - are you too boring for words?
It could be your cat.

Well, I'm back. I had a fantastic time in Europe. And while I have many amazing photos to share with all of you of the sites I saw - Westminister Abbey, the Zwinger, Le Tour Eiffel - the best part of my stay was the friendly folks I got to hang out with. So this entry is dedicated to the people I spent my wonderful summer vacation with, beginning with kuaimao and her hubby Tim. They were soooooo kind to let me impose on them for a few days, and showed me such wonderful hospitality, I don't know how I will ever repay them except to let them know that my door is always open to them. Here we are at a pub in London, watching the Germany-Mexico World Cup match and making a toast to amaliestar!



My last day in London I hung out with my friend Nick. We went on the London Eye, a giant ferris wheel with amazing views of the city that was erected for the Millennium Celebration. Londoners liked the Eye so much that it's now a permanent fixture on the London skyline. Nick and I walked all around London, and in the evening saw Avenue Q, which was in previews in London. It was hysterical! Avenue Q opened on Broadway a couple of years ago and won all of the Tonys, and is now opening in London. You can see a World of Warcraft spoof of one of its songs The Interent Is for Porn.



I explored Dresden and Leipzig with Cara and Kaoko. Here they are in front of the fountain of the amazing Dresden Zwinger, the center of town where all of the museums are located. I will post more photos of Dresden when I get back from my July 4 weekend. ( See More Friendly Faces Here )
