1ST JOURNAL ENTRY: JANUARY 29TH, 2001 They write... After a few days in Amsterdam all we were seeing was red lights, so onto Paris we traveled - where the French were not so "Frenchy" (from what I understood from Capt. Jud & his one and only 1st Mate Ang). They go onto say... We are now in Madrid and headed for Valencia tomorrow! 3rd ENTRY: March 9th, 2001 Their first Block Sender email entry... Hellacious Traveling in the last days... We were on a 72-hour binge run from Geneva to Paris "for the 2nd time, raining... but aight!" (The French were "Frenchier") Then it was onto London where we experienced "The Tube" (A real life traveling enema capsule from what the experience sounded like!) Not opting for a second experience. They now have arrived by Ferry to Dublin, waiting anxiously to find an elusive "Band of Brothers" a rare breed, which migrated from the U.S. to the Far East in the late 1990's... (A family known for "SHANESHAWNOPIA" a highly addictive drug, that when induced causes Friends to migrate from all parts of World to Europe for unexplained reasons.) The only cure for this rare addiction is Q.T.W.B.! That's right... Quality Time with the Bainbridges! 4th ENTRY: March 20th, 2001 Howdy y'all... Here in Galway, Ireland... headed back towards Dublin for another dose of "Shaneshawnopia"- Hitch'n a ride from fellow Americans (no where but Europe can you do this!) However couldn't do the traditional "Belly Crawl" because of the "Hoof & Mouth" or "Foot in Mouth" disease. On a positive note though we spent the night in Dingle without any Berries! (Which I found to be the most fascinating piece of " _ _ _ _ " yet! Not sure of the word I'm looking for... piece of "????"- piece of "INFO"?- Get your minds out of the gutter and back on the path!) 5th ENTRY: March 23rd, 2001 Angie is T.K.O.B'n or takin care of business at a café... however the "Shaneshawnopia" is running low, because one of the suppliers is leaving for N.Y.C.! The Music scene has been groovin with hip-hoppers... nice....aight.... 6th ENTRY: April 18th, 2001 Enjoying our time in Dublin... Angie is still T.K.O.B.'n, the "Shaneshawnopia" has dried up leaving us with the D.T.'s ... Planning a trip to the U.K. & York where will hook-up with Matt. Were in no hurry to get back to working for the man! 7th ENTRY: May 5th, 2001 Were in York, visiting Matt who is an excellent host and Guide! He's also some great company as well as the rest of the company we just hung-out with for the last two months. This has been a fantastic expedition; many of the places we have visited were very hard to leave! 8th ENTRY: May 9th, 2001 Enjoying the fun here in Amsterdam, as it is our last stop of this amazing journey. Just wanted to let you know you're in our hearts and minds! See you all State side! * Disclaimer: All dates and locations are factual journal entries... however the Recorder reserves the right to embellish, imagine, glamorize or make fictional any detailed information transcribed into the archives, solely for entertainment purposes! Seriously... my intentions of recording these events, was something I had fun doing while trying to keep track of these two on their adventures through Europe... I think this really says a lot about the two people I have always known as a couple, and how they are ready to take on the world together, no matter how many of life's dingleberries are thrown on the path. These two always manage to find the clean path! Congrats to you both on the next step in your journey! Green Peace & Love D. Roberts |
