I have wings again!

Ah! I am so excited! I have final dates set for my trip this fall.
From September 16th to November 11th I will be backpacking across Europe with my friend Susan (hahaha backpacking with an American in Europe)
I am so excited! I can see my friends from YWAM again! At least a couple of them.

So the trip so far - start in London, England. Make our way up to Liverpool, and then to York and visit our friends.
Then back down to London, onwards to France (not sure if it will be through the chunnel or by boat yet).
Down through France, hitting Paris of course, and then down to the south coast, on to Italy, hitting up Venice, Florence, Rome, Naples? - then to Greece!

The next bit is the hazy part - don't know if we are going to go the way we came or go through, say, Switzerland? Germany?
But we are going to go to The Netherlands - go to Delft and visit another ywamer! yay! and then through Belgium or something to get back to London and fly home.

Still in the planning phase with the details (hence the green bit), but this week I am getting flights to and from London. Oh I am so excited to see my friends again - I never thought I would again. AND this will be my forth continent to set foot on.

If you have any traveling tips or idears for the trip would be cool. I've traveled a bunch before, but not like this. So let me know what you think.

Oldies

I was watching an episode of 'The Twilight Zone' on youtube just now and it reminded me of BATMAN!
I loved watching the re-runs on tv when I was younger. The *BAM* *THWAP* *WOOOSH* are awesome. Too bad I haven't seen them on tv in years.

Step 2 Form A Patty.step 4 Make a batter and smother it on.

Christmas Ham the sequeal

The other day Matt and Katie, Chris, Kate and Lilly, and Auntie Ange came over for dinner and it was awesome. We played spoons which became ruthless after a bit, and I broke out a jones.....
This time it wasn't Christmas Ham, but Christmas Tree. Here's the vid.



ranting

I'm just thinking out loud here so yep here we go. Oh and I guess this sounds very biased and maybe even mean but whatever it's my blog :P oh an no I am not trying to sway anyone away from their beliefs. or say don't be a vegetarian/vegan.
I've found that from my mum that all the cooks in the kitchen at camp really uh... 'dislike' vegetarians.
The bad ones mess it for everyone. You know the ones... or should. The ones that won't eat anything unless it is specially made for them...and then later on dump a whole lot of beef gravy on their poutines. The ones that can't eat anything served - because it contains traces of trace amount of animal products.
Come on people. It is a choice but don't make others suffer in the middle. I don't think that a little milk product in something will kill (unless severely allergic) . Yes I know that standing up for a belief (killing animals is wrong and blah blah blah) but that is not going to stop people from eating meat. Not that that is the point to start out with but.. ya. There will always be meat eaters, then their will always be animals 'treated poorly' to make meat edible for them. Yes, I know that it doesn't have to be that way, that eveything can be peachy keen with everything, have some rainbows on top of that and yay! Animals will never be killed or hurt so those freaky meat eaters can eat something..
Geez.
okay so byproducts of products that could contain trace amounts of animal things.

okay so choice. choice is good. its a right we have in this lovely country we have. Being a straight vegetable eater is good, I like not eating meat for a change, though I don't think I will do this forever. but who knows. It's made me think of all those vegetarians in a 'new light' not just something that is weird and picky. I know some people even do it becuase they cannot digest meat, it's all good. if that is what makes you feel good about life and rainbows and lovely stuff it's all good. but does it completely kill to eat trace amounts once in a while if in public, say at a conference or something? Instead of
I don't know if I would call myself a vegetarian, I do eat only vegetables but I am not for all they may stand for - if anything, and I would eat meat if there was no other option.

the other day I had the worst day at work and I came home and ah shucks, there was only pizza with meat on it. That sucked. so I said screw everything and I shoved two pieces in my mouth... ham and pineapple by the way. I was too angry to care.
ah well.
I gotta go eat some breakfast now. and see everyone eat bacon.. now that is one thing I think is simply disgusting haha but anyways.

there is my biased thoughts and rants and I like vegetables.

this may not make any sense to anyone but I like to type and mention that some people have to bust their buts to make special foods for special people... even if it is a simple choice for them on their side.

bye :)
