Airtoons

As everyone does, I receive a lot of email forwards. Some are more memorable than others. Some are systematically forwarded to selected groups of friends based on the content and my urge to spread a little humour, but usually not inspiration and never for "good luck". Regardless, most of them are forgotten a few seconds after I hit the send button. One forward that I received about 8 years ago has always stuck with me. It was a collection of pictures from the airline safety cards with captions added. The captions actually make way more sense according to the photos than the airline intended. It plays into my goofy sarcasm and I have never been able to look at those information cards the same. I was thinking about this email the other day and found a whole website of them by a guy who claims that he is the originator of the idea. Who knows if he is because I also found a few other knock-offs, but this one is my favorite. www.airtoons.com

Clearly good advice on the ground OR in the air!

Bike Tour through Amsterdam

My bike! "Big Tex" We started at the shop and went through the city, stopping to point out Amsterdam sites.


Out tour guide. He was an adorable Brit with great stories.


We traveled along the Amstel river and saw a lot of cool houseboats but this one had to take the cake!


400 year old windmill. People live in it and are probably annoyed at us tourists but how can you not get a cheesy photo?


We rode through the countryside until we came to a house where they make wooden shoes and cheese, the old fashioned way.

CHEEEESSSSEEE!!!


We went back through 2 city parks and only in Amsterdam would public art also be a Picasso.
