Close-up of the Duomo in Milan	Fabio and John in Pete's apartment, where we stayed	John on the train to the lake district
John sitting at a train station somewhere in Italy.	Oh, we're in Rovato, wherever that is.	Me ready to leave Rovato because we have no idea where we are and have given up on getting to the lake district. We're just going back to Milan.
In Milan at the indoor shopping plaza. It's pretty famous, but I can't remember it's name.	Definitely a neat place to hang out.	According to John, this same piece of art is on U of C's campus. It looks familar, but I can't place it.
There's a famous band staying up on that balcony. All these kids down by us, were screaming for them. I never heard of the band.	Famous castle in Milan, the name escapes me, though I remember it's hard to spell.	By the moat of the castle. (John is now taking the pictures, as you can tell from their artistic quality.)
Left Milan because it was boring and because for 50 euros and a 1 1/2 hour flight, we could be in Amsterdam. So here we are.	Amsterdam is beautiful. And the bikes are awesome.	It must be amazing to see all the canals frozen.
Me looking over the menu at the Hotel New York. The hotel that people who were sailing to New York left from. (We're now in Rotterdam, visiting...)	Mark, the good doctor and friend of John's.	I took the camera from John to get a shot of him.
View from our hotel in Amsterdam. (Amsterdam and Rotterdam are close so we went back and forth between the two.)	Me in Amsterdam, walking around.	Not a beer fan, but I thought it was cool to see the Heineken brewery.
The Rijsmuseum, which was mostly closed for renovation, so I didn't go in.	Bikes are everywhere.	And the canals are so cool.
I dug this bridge and found a place to put the camera so I could use the self-timer.	I think this is a pretty nice picture if I say so myself.	Those three levels are all bicycle parking. I wish I could have gotten a good picture of this.
Still trying to show all the bicycles.	A little better	I didn't stand still enough for this picture.
