Europe!

Darby and I are now in Europe. Aside from our stopovers in London and Amsterdam we have spent most of our time in the Stockholm area. Today we went to the Vassa museum were they have the worlds oldest sea vessel on display. The Vassa was a one of the Largest Swedish battle ships in the naval fleet. On its maiden voyage in 1628, it traveled 1300 meters (less then one mile) and sank at the first sign wind. It was found again in 1956 and resurrected almost entirely intact. I'll post a picture later.
Highlight of the trip so far was learning to fly a glider and pulling 100 degree 4g turns!! Next week we are taking a cruise over to Helsinki (Finland). I'll post as often as I have internet.
