Hey wall...it's me again. 

Just got back from the Netherlands and this travel train just keeps on a moving. Next stop...Spring Break Station.  

Of course, there's a storm a coming here in Barcelona, a BIG ONE. Wednesday night is going to be rough sailing. Drawing sections till the break of dawn. 

Thursday night however, smooth sailing. We leave for Dublin, then Berlin, then Milan, and finally good ole Paris! (i hear it's nice there)

Why the sailing analogy you ask?...because all this traveling makes me feel like ODYSSEUS! Trip after trip, tale after tale, some trials and tribulations, a few heroic battles, but in the end this whole semester is going to be one big Epic Journey! A lot has been discovered so far...but even more is still unkown...where will this journey end? Only time will tell

On a more architectural note:

The architecture in Amsterdam was incredibly inspiring. The city is certainly a unique place full of impressive architectural accomplishments. I found the use of materials there to be especially interesting. I also appreciate the experimental mindset of the architecture there and the acceptance of new ideas. I think that it is this mentality that allows new ideas to arise there and actually become what the architect intended. It is an ideal work environment for a designer aspiring to do new and innovative things with his work.
