Craziness Update

Wow, it's been awhile. Life, as you can imagine, has been pretty crazy lately. Moving, wedding, packing, honeymoon, unpacking. Holly and I have been back to the real world for a week and a half and are slowly unpacking/moving all the stuff we have into our suite. It's slow going as we're doing little by little after work and making food and sleep. We're getting there, though.

The wedding was amazing. We received comments from a lot of guests saying that they had so much fun, and it was the most fun wedding they've attended! That was the idea, so we're glad that worked out!

The honeymoon was fantastic. I got to drive around southern England for a few days before the 12 day Baltic cruise. Proper roundabouts are fun... we only screwed up a few of them. Not bad for having driven through 7,000 of them in such a short period. Those narrow narrow narrow country lanes are crazy! Did I mention they were narrow? Some we drove through were 70 or 80 km/h (make that 40 or 50 mph over there) speed limits with lanes just barely wide enough for a car, let alone two way traffic complete with lorries and coaches (trucks and busses)! And don't forget the sheer walls of bushes or stone at the road edges. Fun stuff. No really, I had a lot of fun with it!

After driving through England and staying in bed and breakfasts, we hopped onto the cruise ship for 12 days of Baltic capitals. In short, we visited Copenhagen, Denmark; Berlin (via Warnemünde), Germany; Tallin, Estonia; St. Petersburg, Russia; Helsinki, Finland; and Stockholm, Sweden. Too much to say now, but maybe later.

After the cruise, we had another full day in England before flying back home. We were back into Vancouver on Saturday for a surprise visit from my parents. Then back home Sunday morning to get ready for work Monday morning. It's good to be home, but vacation is nice.

Now for a teaser picture. This was taken on the Baltic Sea on July 1st (Happy Canada Day!) somewhere between Germany and Estonia.


That is all.
