We spent the morning packing and organizing to leave the next morning. Cleaning up a bit. Adam and Natasha went out to get some special foreign beers to take home with them. We left the house at 12:30 to head out for the rest of the day. Not a lot on the list so we were trying to be leisurely but that led to a lot of standing around and a little bit of irritability. But we did get to see the Cat Boat and pet some kitties which was fun. :) We walked around a lot...

I've really been enjoying how much sleep I've been getting here in Amsterdam. Since we haven't had a mile long list of things to do, we don't feel rushed every morning to get up and go go go. Thursday I woke up before everyone else and sat outside in our "courtyard" drinking tea, eating breakfast and writing. I actually don't remember much of what else we did that day. I think we tried going to the "cat boat" only to find out it had closed just when we arrive...

We've been taking it really slow and easy here in Amsterdam since we have so much time and not that many things on our To Do list.

I've been bad about blogging since we arrived in Amsterdam so I'm going to try to do a recap post! Sunday!

I almost lose it so Winn makes me sit down while he goes to pee and find coffee. I end up talking to an ex-pat for a little while until I'm calm. Find a cab, arrive in the rain at...

Hack in Paris (HIP), at Disneyland Paris, ended up being a really fun, comfortable, family-friendly, interesting conference. We were only there for the 2 days of talks (preceded by 2 days of training), but we got to meet a ton of smart, fascinating, fun international folks. The first night was a little cocktail hour for all the speakers and staff (and since I was filming the talks, I was staff! fun!). At one point, I was having a conversation with someone from ...
