On the last leg!

Well, although I technically left home on Wednesday I am just now starting the final leg of my journey. I am currently sitting in the Amsterdam airport waiting for a flight to Entebbe, Uganda via Nairobi, Kenya. Once there I have 2 days courtesy of Adam's uncle's brother (confusing I know) to figure out last minute visa and MAF flight details. Then upon the rising of most of you Thursday I will reach my final destination, over 1 week after leaving.

I guess a quick recap on what has happened over the last few days. Well, for starters I visited Matthew(my brother) in Hamilton/Toronto. He was kind enough to pick me up from the airport only for us to bus back to Hamilton in rush hour traffic. A bad combination when you didn't go to the bathroom before leaving the airport. This was followed by a few days of hanging out and successfully watching all three Lord of the Rings movies(not extended version). Then on my final night in the area we went into Toronto search out Nuit Blanche(essentially a city wide art festival). All we found was John Mcelroy playing a never ending tied tennis match in the middle of the city, a man giving away all of his possessions, and a super noisy town square filled with smoke and bright lights. Pretty rad, but not at all what was expected.

Ok time restraints of 5 minutes means I will super quickly tell you about Amsterdam. Leaving Toronto just last night, I flew into Amsterdam and had a 8 hour layover. Obviously I was not going to stay in the airport so I went into town. Some of the things I saw (a pigeon on the head of Rembrandt, a square full of people wearing random costumes for you to take pictures with, a man riding a bike in a speedo (not once, not twice, three times), canals, really confusing twisty streets, bikes (a lot of bikes), mopeds, more confusing streets, and my time is out.

Love you all, and talk to you soon (whenever I get internet).
