The European Post

Alright so I just got back from Europe.....
Cleared security and customs at the airport.....
And I'm back home in Portland Oregon....


Now..... I know some of you may dislike airport security...
Maybe it can feel "a bit violating" sometimes
Maybe it can seems rude...
Often times it feels a little "cold-handed"...
And to that.... I understand!




But for me........
I like to think of airport security as an opportunity!!
Really! Cause if you think about it....
Its the last real chance we all have left to... legally.....
And acceptably....


Proudly show off your newest undies...
AND in a crowd!!!


So obviously security has never really bothered me...
Now.....  I do agree it can feel "a bit overly thorough" sometimes.
But I for one am o.k. with that!!!


Cause as we all know....
It's worth it to catch the bad guys....


Cause my sources tell the blog....
....that the bad guys are getting craftier these days!!




Like this evil-doer who recently almost got through security!!!
The Bastard!!!!


Or even this next lady..... who sources confirm was CLEARLY......


... carrying more than 3 ounces of liquid!!!!


But lets move on... 
This is not what I planned to talk about today anyways.
You see I had planned to post travel posts and "fun" pictures from my trip to Europe ...
But sadly I had iPad issues....


And couldn't.....

(Damn you iPad crushing person sitting next to me !)






Anyways I feel I still need to get you all caught up to speed.... 
So I'm back now and working on a couple European posts...


And you know what.... We saw A LOT!!!
In fact I like to think that when my brother and I travel...
 we really "soak up" all that Europe has to offer....




From all the exquisite foods we tried....
And cafes too...


To all the latest weird Euro-fashions we learned about.....

Man they are just always on the cutting edge of fashion trends...
 For example..... 
this new euro-hairstyle we saw called "The Muzzle"....

....serves as a "kind of new fangled diet" also!
That's Euro-Brilliance!!!

So we just tried to see it all..... 
We would get up early each day..... 
And take photos of nearly everything we saw.....


But in our own way....

Often..... the photos we took would take us late into the night?
We were just that thorough!!!!


For us it was about trying to see as much as you can over there...
Like all of the biggest and best monuments!
And then some of the lesser known ones....
like this one...
 which 9 out of 10 ladies reviewed as "underwhelming!"


We couldn't soak it up fast enough. 
Some might even say we "ingested Europe" ...




But by cooking breakfast versions of the monuments we saw the next morning....
Like my favorite Twinkie-Bacon Stonehenge......
Freekin delicious!!!!


I mean if you aren't learning over there.... why even go?


But whatever... For us it was also about connecting with the local people...


I for one took to giving the local people ideas on how they could take their famous monuments......




....to the next level!!!!!

Which they somehow didn't appreciate ?
huh?
Your loss I guess?


Anyways....  we would just strap on our fanny packs.... and travel!


Bonus fact- Fanny packs also great for breast support?
Who knew.... right?
Thanks euro-fashion!!!


Anyway's it's great to be home.....
Europe was really fun.... 
But towards the end of the trip I started to get the sense that it was time to go...



I was beginning to feel they just didn't fully understand my kind of patriotism?


Oh well... till next time Europe.... till next time
and for all of you....
blog ya'll later!

  1. Is Europe still standing? Or were you guys too much to handle?

  2. I'm worried that thousands of years of art and culture were jeopardized by your trip. Is anything still standing? Glad you're back home safe and sound. I look forward to your pictures.

  5. I am pretty surprised you got through airport security. Not once but twice.

  6. I hope the contraband you smuggled was too deep inside to be discovered. Did you find out what "fanny" means in England?

  7. I was just wondering when we would hear from you again. Fascinating travel perspective - can't wait to hear more ;)

  8. So glad you're back...and in one piece! Well, 2 pieces counting the both of you!

    Thanks for sharing what you learned on your travels! Although I can't believe they didn't go for the angry birds bit.

  10. I hope you got your horse a Super Size fries. I would think that MacDonald's might serve a Super Size cabbage? Maybe?

  11. Welcome back! I never thought I'd say this, but those boobs were gross. Also, who knows what kind of diabolical plot that kid was trying to hatch. Or maybe it was easier to lay him on the conveyor belt and send him through the x-ray?
    Would my lady-boss be offended if I suggested that hairstyle? Probably. Oh well.
