European Continent, GIRD THYSELF!

We are 26 days (and counting) from boarding a plane to Iceland (volcanos permitting) where Iceland Air forces their travelers to visit if only for a few hours, and then on to Amsterdam's Schiphol airport to start our third European adventure. 

Our travels will take us via high-speed rail through The Netherlands to Belgium where we will begin exploring the European continent. Our first few days will be spent in Bruges (or Brugge), Ghent, Brussels, and Antwerp. We will then train on to Trier and then on to Cochem; a beautiful little town on the Mosel (or Moselle) river just a stones throw from Berg Eltz. From there we will visit the Rhine Valley and see Bacharach and Cologne. Then we will go back to the Netherlands where Tommy will try his hardest to not bore Libby to death with all the wonderful. . .  dreadful. . .  intolerable art museums. 

That last sentence was quite the struggle. But the computer is still mostly in one piece and after some great feats of strength no one's sleeping on the couch tonight. We will be gone from September 22nd (arrival date being September 23) and we will return October 14th, giving us approximately 21 days in Europe.
