Red Light District!

So this weekend I went to Europe for the first time, and where did I go in Europe but Amsterdam. Hoped on a plane friday afternoon and flew for 10 hours and landed in Scipol airport. I was on the ground for about 24 hours before it was time to head back. Amsterdam was really fun there were about as many bicycles as there were people in the city and roads had dedicated bicycle lanes with traffic lights and everything. Amsterdam is not as crazy as people think it is people aren't walking around every where high off their ass and not every window has a girl in lingerie looking out of. It is still crazy to see the coffee shops with the smell of canabis emitting from the shops and there are plenty around. Though, I am not going into detail about all that I did except for I saw Anne Franks house, Van Gough Museum was pretty interesting, and the Heineken tour was really fun.

All in All fun trip can't complain. this weekend maybe Chicago?

As the Turbine Turns!



Life as an intern continues, I have just finished the training portion of the internship and starting tomorrow its back to a normal work schedule 0600- till whenever the boss leaves. Through training I got to spend 28 hours flying the 737-800 full flight simulator, learned how to operate the aircraft's flight management computer [FMC], and spent the past two days learning about ETOPs operations. The training was really exciting because it gave a first hand account on what I want to be doing the rest of my life, and this only makes me want to get there quicker.

So World Cup has been exciting not sad about USA not going very far but I really could care less about US soccer. I am glad its and all European final hopefully Germany vs. Netherlands would be a fun final, and hopefully I can be in Europe this weekend for the final. Also the Tour De France is on and its been a crazy one, though I am not disappointed by anything that has happened so far. I want Cadel Evans to win, or Shelck, and as long as Cavendish does not win the green jersey I would be happy.
