Tim and his Accent

Tim is from England, and he was roommates with Kyle during their time at the Shelter in Amsterdam. Tim came and stayed at L'Abri while we were there. Tim was teaching us English accents, and we discovered that Tim had a incredible American accent. The following videos are of me trying to get him to talk.







This might be an inside joke... so I apologize if you don't think it is funny.

Death Cab for Cutie concert in Berlin Germany

The fallowing videos are of the Death Cab for Cutie show that Kyle and I were able to attend in Berlin Germany on 11/25/08. The show was fantastic, they played well, and the venue was really nice.




This is Frightened Rabbit who opened for Death Cab


Death Cab:



The Employment Pages



The New Year



Grapevine Fires




I Will Fallow You Into the Dark



We Looked Like Giants

This was by far one of my favorite songs they played that night. They just really rocked it. Chris Walla switched instruments with Nick Harmer and they killed it!



Transatlanticism

I highly suggest going to a show in Berlin sometime. Berlin is a must see in Europe by my standards, and they have a great art culture. So if you ever make it to Germany, then head to Berlin.

Krakow Poland

Here are some shots from Poland when it was really cold.



Back

So I am back in Boise, and it is really cold. There is snow on the ground and the heat is off in my brother's house because the furnace is being replaced. I am over jet lag now, and I am just trying to get my feet under me. Normal life starts to move. I ordered a cell phone... I have to get some Christmas gifts in order.

I am going to be posting some new videos; 15 of them to be exact. I will put up some pictures as well, but I am going to take my time with that. Maybe in the next few days there will be some new content and new reflections.

I am glad to be home. Things are well in Idaho, and I can only hope the same in Oregon. I will be there soon. It will be weird to not be in school and be there. I guess I am getting started late on that transition.

More to come.

Update from Europe #5

So we are in Krakow Poland, and it is really cold. It is hard for me to keep the cold at bay because I do not have all the clothing I would normally have with me. I didn't have a lot of room when I was packing, but I will soon be heading to warmer lands. We are going to Prague again tomorrow for one night, and then we will be off to Berlin for a Death Cab for Cutie concert. We will spend one day looking around Berlin and seeing the normal sights. The wall and such. Then we will be traveling to The Netherlands to stay at L'Abri for two weeks. I am really looking forward to the next portion of our trip because it will be a different pace than we have had so far.

Last week we spent a few days in a great town called Polica Czech Republic. We were visiting some of Kyle's friends, and it was a blast. It was really great to see a small town and the culture there. The beer was really good too.

I am running out of steam... so I will end here. More to come soon. Some videos when I can get then uploaded.

Blessings

Update from Europe #4

Hello again,

When we were in Munich Germany over a week ago we climbed a tower to see the city. It was good little clime, and the view was amazing. I hope you enjoy what we have made.

Update from Europe #3

Hello all,

So it has been a while since we have posted a video and I assure you that there is a good reason for that. It is hard to find Internet access that allows you to upload things to their computer. So the result is that we have had to wait to upload things. This is a video about our stay in Rothenburg Germany, even though that was more than two weeks ago, and we are now in the Czech Republic. We were a little sill that night, but you understand.



Other than that things are going well and we are falling in love with this town we are currently in. Czech Republic rocks! Independence from communist rule rocks too!
There will be about three more videos to come later today, so I am sure it will be interesting.

We love you all, and thank you for prayers and interest.
