...feline style! This big guy found a nice warm napping spot on the hood of a shiny black car in Orvieto, Italy!

When I chose my accomodation for my trip to Amsterdam I found hotels seemed quite expensive so I opted to use Airbnb for the first time and we rented a basement apartment in this canalside house.
Our characterful 60m2 apartment was about the same price as a 15m2 room in a hotel but the Prinsengracht location meant we were only minutes from the centre of the city and yet tucked away in a quiet location. If / when I return to Amsterdam I'll almost certainly return to the same place. If anyone's interesting in getting the details drop me a flickrmail and I'll send you a weblink.

From Wikipedia : "Amsterdam's name derives from Amstelredamme, indicative of the city's origin as a dam of the river Amstel. Originating as a small fishing village in the late 12th century, Amsterdam became one of the most important ports in the world during the Dutch Golden Age (17th century), a result of its innovative developments in trade. During that time, the city was the leading centre for finance and diamonds.
In the 19th and 20th centuries the city expanded, and many new neighborhoods and suburbs were planned and built. The 17th-century canals of Amsterdam and the 19–20th century Defence Line of Amsterdam are on the UNESCO World Heritage List."

We arrived in Washington on a very hot, blue-sky day. The pilot told us that the entire area was under a heat advisory - temperatures were expected to soar to ninety. As Virginians, Adam and I are used to muggy, hot, oppressive, miserable summer weather - it's the norm for us. The folks in the Pacific Northwest were obviously unprepared and decidedly uncomfortable with the heat. The week before it had been in the 50's - so I imagine the temperature swing was a shock to their systems.
We set out from SeaTac and watched the giant mountain grow larger as we drew closer to the Nisqually entrance station of Mt. Rainier National park. The line of cars to get into the park was so long. We had to wait about a half hour just to get past the fee station. We were spending our first two nights of the trip at the newly renovated and reopened Paradise Inn. We made our way, stopping at many of the overlooks along the way. The shot above shows the Nisqually River flowing down the side of the mountain. The park was extremely crowded - even moreso than Yellowstone was last summer when we visited. Every pullout was literally thronging with people.
One of the first things that amazed me was the power of the water. In Central Virginia, even when we get heavy rain, our streams and rivers are a mere trickle compared to the water in MRNP. Standing next to this park's streams, you literally feel the blast of glacial cold coming off the water. The water also looks different - it's full of silt and (according to the seasonal ranger) ash. It's milky and roiling instead of clear and tawny like our streams and rivers.
The other thing that I found amazing was the amount of snow still on the ground. Shortly after passing Longmire, we started seeing thick snow pack all along the road. By the time we made it up to Paradise, the snow was often six or more feet deep. I knew that the Cascades had a snowier-than-average winter - I was aware that we would see snow - but I didn't expect to see quite that much still there on the last weekend of June!
Gear includes the Gatewood Cape, ZPack Blast 3200, Gossamer Gear trekking poles, a Western Mountain 20 degree mummy bag, the NeoAir sleep pad, and a tyvek ground sheet. The yellow stuff sack holds my BPL Merino wool base layer, gloves, balaclava, fleece hat, and an extra pair of socks. I also carry a Thermawrap jacket and wear a wind shirt over my light hiking shirt. In the pack is my first aid kit, fire/cooking kit, a safety/survival kit, and a2L Platypus water bag with a Sawyer water filter. I carried my 7 days food supply in the small Bear Vault. Total pack weight at the beginning of this trip-including food and water - 26lbs
Was looking for a room at the inn in which to spend the night....the best I could find was this small room above the tavern...
A new "Air BnB" is coming soon! People have trid this service off and on in the ghost town of Cisco UT so we'll see how successful this one is...
I paused halfway between the station and carpark on the way to pick up the brats from daycare
I think the clothes on the right makes the shot.
