    A few pics from my European trip...

    I left on a Saturday for what was supposed to be a seven (7) day trip - Houston, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Bergen, Amsterdam, Houston...a volcano in Iceland thought otherwise. I returned home some 11 days after my original departure. I was able to get in a couple of days of sightseeing between work and playing gypsy...

    On the outskirts of Amsterdam...crazy to see how people use windmills, canals and boats day in and day out.

      In one very old and historic section of Bergen, you can see some really cool, old, wooden structures. In this particular area, the structures were originally built in the early 1200s, burned several times over the years and what is currently standing has been there since the mid-1700s... Incredible.

            From Oslo, Norway I took an eight hour bus ride to Copenhagen, Denmark...my final stop before heading back to H-Town...

            There is a lot of nice architecture in Copenhagen - museums, castles, parliment houses, etc.

              The brewery houses the world's largest unopened beer bottle collection. When it was started, the bottles totalled over 15K...today it stands at over 19K...every shape, size, color, country, etc. is represented.
