someone told me before i left for amsterdam -- neil, the best advice i can give to you is to lose your wallet -- everything -- for 4 days. ha! ha! i thought he was an idiot (and travis is...) but it was the best thing ever. prosst to you man.
so here i sit at an internet cafe in my hostel and i am very lucky. to have you as friends to have life....to be in fairly good shape (hey...fairly...) to have the most wonderful family in the world --- in spanish happy is arishima or something similar.
if you are reading this right now i would hope that you are smiling (or laughing your tail off).
so...i lose my wallet...i survive in amsterdam off beauty alone (no?) for 4 days and what to do now...? i do not take this trip as a last journey. this is very important to point out. i have a gorgeous neice (great neice) and a family that loves me very much as i love them. this is my beginning of a lifetime of peace. and good fortune or so i hope.
i will tell you one more story from today. i hope you share yours with me as well along the way-- just what you are doing as i miss you all very much. i went to a big breakfast and had what i thought to be truffels (mushrooms), however when the lady comes and i pay my bill -- i say to her -- ï love your truffels"-- and she says "no, this is snails""...fricken amsterdam.
peace be with you.
neil

Neil, your journey has just begun and sounds like you're having a blast. We miss you too man. looking forward to meeting up w/ you in Barcelona and don't forget to bring some of that kind w/ you to share w/ an old buddy. Later Gator, safe travels - dc
Neil, as I said, no more donating! Save the clothes, souveniours and money donations for a country that needs it - like Africa, Indonesia, Mexico, California. It gets cold in Amsterdam this time of year, you need your rain coat. Love you, Ton, Karl and Karina
