Loozing it in Amsterdam

Ok - well - I think I am just going to take pictures at "random" from the vast archive that I have created over the years. When I say archive...I mean, I have collected (either directly...or through scanning negatives and prints) well over 15,000 images. A bit excessive you say?! You are right...BUT....I think if most people went through all their photo albums, their parents albums, etc....they would find that they have a similar (if not way more) amount of photos.

Now - on to today's iteration. This photo was taken back in 2002, July 7th to be exact. In this photo is myself (sporting the biggest beard I have ever managed to grow) and one of my good friends, Annlee. We were in Amsterdam for a couple of days before heading "into the field" (Madaba, Jordan). I remember when this picture was taken - Annlee, Debra (another friend whom I am sure will eventually make their way onto this blog) and myself were playing cards (evidence on the table) in a cafe (!). Annlee orders this drink called "Looza"...(I just tried Google translate and I have no idea what the word actually means...or what language it even is). I thought that was funny - so I kept calling Annlee a "Looza" all night (which got very boring after a while and I was forced to stop).

Until tomorrow....
