Droog - Rolling Around On This Bench Thing


Ryan wanted to have a sleep over at the Droog store... but the guy said he wasn't comfortable with the idea.  Ryan then proceeded to throw a tantrum, much like a child-pirate [videos to come].

Arriving in Amsterdam

wandering the city, dodging bikes and electric trams:

"Race to the top of this hill."


Ashes won, but only by like a centimeter.  There will be a rematch.  Stay tuned.

droog / the get lucky?



So, we were supposed to stay in this "townhouse" in Amsterdam.  The Get Lucky it's called.  We made it three nights of the 3 weeks we had reserved.  Um, bed bugs, lack of essential amenities, strange smells, mice, random "paraphernalia" lying around.  We had a nice view though ^.  So now we are in between "Al's Place" and our new place - staying at a hotel in Amsterdam East.  

We dropped by Droog's store and office to drool over all the amazing design going on there.  Videos to come.

Ole! Ole!



Yesterday was amazing! We went to the German Pavilion
and it was awesome. Yes, it was all that and so much more!


The money shot.







Also, last night was the big Barcelona/Manchester game
and Barcelona won! The streets were filled with happy,
drunk Spaniards. The video above shows just a glimpse
of that excitement.

Beauty is a dish best served in Autumn?






Argentina is fucking gorgeous!!

a little bit of everything from Argentina






Let's give proper respect to Sam's crazy high jumping photo. Note: I mean we are approaching the highest peak in the Americas, so if you can jump about 3000m (or about 9000ft) above sea level lets see it. wahoo Argentina!!
