So April decided that she had enough of our Yankee ways and crossed the pond to Europe. Well she actually participated in a study abroad program through Michigan State University. She was going to abroad (not a lady) for four months (Feb-May).
At the beginning of the school year her mother told her not to get attached to anyone, well I kind of screwed that one up. At the time it seemed like forever and I thought that she would meet some exotic European dude and never come back (here's some foreshadowing for you=we got married).
But anyway, I would call up all drunk while she was over there and accuse her of cheating, especially with this one Swedish guy named Oolah (don't know if it is the correct spelling).
So I decided that I was going to come visit her in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands. She said that she would meet me in Amsterdam and then we would take a train to Brussels and then back to Amsterdam and then out to Leeuwarden. Mind you I was only there for four whole days, leaving on the fifth. Talk about doing things for a girl.

Here is april and I on the train to Brussels. I am fresh off the plane (time without sleep 22 hours)

We walked around the city of Brussels for awhile found a sammich shop and got drunk of Juplier beer. We then took a nap. April wanted to stay in bed so I started to read a book and then she felt bad about not getting up and we walked around the city square at night.

The next morning, isn't she cute on our tiny bed.

April in front of our Hotel the Van Belle, we were on our way to the Botanical Gardens of Brussells.

I'm not posing or anything.

Since it was Early April there were not too many flowers.

More posing.

It took a little while to get this picture taken, language barriers. My French is limited to "
par les vous..." enter english here.

More posing in the garden.

I was actually about 20 feet off the ground. I liked the buildings in the background.

Here is April in the Town Square, it was huge.

The Locals.

Here is the view from our hotel room, quaint isn't it.

The town square at night. We were waiting for some of April's classmates, to meet up with us.

You can't tell, but we are in a pizza hut having dinner. For future reference don't go to pizza hut in Europe $$$$$$$!!!!!

April's classmates and one other boyfriend, the tall guy in the back. The guy with antenna ears is from Wisconsin, I think.

Throwing down some mad Foosball Skills against the Spainard.

You talking to me...I know this is a badass beer now Fuggedaboutit.

Posing like a happy couple.

We're drinking!!!! and I just beat you, you silly European.

The next morning we jetted (hopped a train) to Amsterdam and then to Leeuwarden. The guy on the left is Julienne=a licker.

Here is Mark at April's apartment. He was a crazy guy, from MSU with April.

The guy on the right is OOOOOOOlah, the girl, Sadie, was April's best friend while she was there. Sadie was English, she let april cut up a lot of the vegetables for dinner.

On our way to getting hammered at the groups local hangout.

Getting a little bit of piss off from Sadie and Julienne. I don't know why, she started it.

Why is Julienne looking at me like that?

Mother...so I liked it, wanna fight about it?

This place was interesting. You had to buy tokens for drinks at the door. I bought about 7 and used 1 for myself. Call me Captain over indulgence.

Otis with the Ladies.

Aprils reaction to wheter or not the Netherlands Bell Pepper Production would be affected by the increase and improvements in Canadian Green House Technology.

This was the worst tasting shot I have ever had (until I visited Norway).

The consensus was in, the shot=the shocker.

April and her usual Hooligans.

Oooooooolah and I rocking out in the laser show.

The Next morning on my last day in Europe. Where is april? Sick with something in bed.
They decided to Tape this poor girl all up.

Here is the view out of April's Apartment.

If you could only hear April yelling at me that I was doing it all wrong. Meanwhile, I was having a grand time riding a bike in Europe.

Here is the last picture in Aprils apartment.

Poor sleepy little girl on the way to drop me off in Amsterdam.

The story behind this picture is I met her on the way out to Europe and then we ran into each other on the way back. Me=coach Her=1st class. She didn't rub it in or anything.
