Apparently when you visit Amsterdam on a weekend, it's smart to plan ahead. I didn't, and by the time I went looking for lodging, nearly everything was all booked up.

Hello friends. Once again I find myself in Europe. I know not what adventures await me, but I aim to keep you better informed than I did last time.

I just shot the moon three times in a row in hearts! Current score: 0-78-78-78. Everything's coming up Brendan!
