Oh my dear sweet dillon,
Do you always want to torture me with you long black bread and then finally shave it, and leave the wonderful moustate?sp on... I could not stop laughing when I saw your incredible pic of yur curly 'stashe!! You are too funny!!
Love you madly Dillon,
Mom
I hardly recognize you with the moustache! Just when I was getting used to the beard. Reminds me of the gentlemen of Strindberg and Ibsen. Very dashing. The trip itinerary has me filled with travel-bug! Take me! Take me! PS: Sam has a new friend... he has just moved in and he's a handful. His name is Stuart (started out as Spot) but he looks like the little gaffer!
Merry Christmas, sweet baboo! Your photos look like a wonderland! Love Liisa.
Well, well, well you are looking very foreign!! We'll have to talk Kid! Oh boy what a trip - you are seeing cities that have been on my list for all of my life. Please take careful pictures (you are getting good at it. Well done!) of Prague and Berlin. We also missed the Adriatic Sea which is supposed to be amazing. This is the trip of a life time. Merry Christmas and Happy Happy New Year!
Dillon, Just came across old email from you Dad that had you blog attached. I've gone through your blog and it sure looks like you are having a great time over there. Reminds me of my trip to Europe 25 years ago, damn I'm getting old. The Europe tour sure sounds like fun and you will be covering a lot of ground, enjoy it and take some great photo's. Seeing Dylan in Denmark sounds cool, your poor DAD must be envious. Like you say, your trip will be over before you know it so make sure you enjoy every minute of it. I'm sure we will get the whole story when you are back this summer.
Cheers! Toncek
p.s. You would have fit right in at Wendall Clarks sweater raising at the ACC, everyone got a stache to wear.
hey dillon! thats so exciting about euro tour. i remember it was the highlight of my trip. when you are in vienna, make sure to visit the stephansdom. and there is the best gelato store in all of austria there, one block away from the church called zanini zanini. you HAVE to get an icecream there. Head over the museum's quarter and lounge on the benches there while listening to music (it was one of my favorite things to do!) at night. it wont be far from the hostel you are staying in. :) i wish i was still there to show you around! you are going to have such an amazing time dude!
love,
Kathleen
