A TRACK MEET AND THE TAJ MAHAL

Well, Bree had a track meet in Delhi and I was so proud of her. John, Ashley and our friends Stephanie, Rich and Sophia went with us to check things out. It's a blessing to have friends. Anyway, here's the pictures.

Bree stayed at the home of a family who was connected with the American Embassy in Delhi. When we went to get her, John got out to go knock on the door and the security pulled his gun, ready to shoot and ask questions later. I'm screaming, and our van driver jumps out and gets him to back off. Great. Welcome to Delhi.

I'm coming home and will write more about that later. The cancer came back with a vengence. It's good to have family to come home to. Miss you all, hope to see you real soon.

DAYS 11 - 13 HOLLAND

All good things must come to an end. We stayed at CitizenM again, a really fun place for the kids. The girls shopped and had fun seeing the sights, we came up on a fair in Amsterdam's Dam Square, and everything crescendoed for me at the garden. So, another adventure comes to an end, and we try to fall back into line...John back to work, Bree back to school...Ashley is taking final exams now...and I'm rubbing my back and cooling it. Life is good.

DAYS 7 & 8

Well...We didn't get to ride the 40 mph sled down the mountain, nor did we get to be pulled by the pack of husky's...just a boring pull around the mountain with a snow trucky thingy. How boring.

DAYS 5 & 6

It was a 5 hour drive to Chamonix Valley, which was such a beautiful place. I'd like to come back here again. It was cold and Bree ran into problems breathing after we got on the top of the glacier (3842 meters). We were running up the stairs to a coffee shop there...and then the pain struck her heart...she stopped talking, fell against the wall...and I FREAKED OUT. Geneva was so amazing...such a fascinating city. Everything is on the camcorder...which got stolen...so much for the "memories".

PARIS PICTURES - Days 3 & 4

Well, we left London and went on to Dover and crossed the Eurotunnel which felt really wierd. I forgot to put a few extra pix in yesterday from Madame Toussad's so I added them here. I left my camera when we were crusing on the Seine river and Ashley has all the pictures of the bridges and sight seeing this day. We were supposed to go to Disney, but didn't go. We went to the Lido show...(John was in a bad mood and didn't go, and truthfuflly had I known what was in store for us, I would have left B
