Entry from: Chicago, United States Entry Title: “A Year of Living Well” Entry: “Leaving the adventure and animals of Africa behind we boarded our flight for Amsterdam and our return to the western world.

I wanted buffalo wings and a hot shower, Jan just wanted to finally put away her traveling clothes and wear something impractical and cute. Once we set down in Amsterdam we were immediately impressed by how well the city ran and how clean everything was.
