Short reflections from Europe
Julie and I are on our sixth European vacation since 2003. When we get back I will begin posting pictures and video. Meanwhile, here are a few short notes
Best features of Europe:
1. Architecture. Attractive buildings everywhere you look. Statues too.
2. Fewer people. Less crowding. Easier to get around. Except London.
3. Walking. I like to do vacations that involve walking.
4. Inspiration. I get creative ideas for fiction constantly here.
Worst features of Europe.
1. prices. You seriously pay far too much for everything. Clothing prices especially are effing INSANE.
2. Phone calls. You can't make a damn phone call to the US any more. Phone cards are rare now.
3. Stamps. Everyone sells postcards but no one sells stamps for them. We spend 1-3 hours per vacation dealing with this..
4. Water. Water is expensive and you can't drink the tap water. I probably spent already 50 dollars on water this trip.
More later.
