Also Andy's movie came up as the second most watched with 90 views that night (first place was the guy who was in charge of putting the movies on the "MiniCine" so I think it was rigged... haha). Last place had like 19 views so we were proud of the recognition he got.

Japanese Tea Garden and De Young museum : We had tons of fun this weekend... Finally made it to the Japanese Tea Garden and made an impromptu stop in the De Young Museum. It was so beautiful with all of the flowers blooming and we felt a little artistic after the museum. That night we went to a Giant's Pre-Season game too :) Crazy fun! Next day was my Birthday stay at the Westin Saint Francis, dinner at Francis Ford Coppola's restaurant and some clothes shopping in the new part of the Shopping mall in Downtown San Francisco. Such an awesome weekend! We met some cool people too. At the restaurant we ran into Andy's friend's girlfriend and she sent over some yummy Tiramisu. While we were in North beach we stopped at a boutique a classmate recommended to me and met another awesome chick that got Andy's information for an internship she is doing now. Can I just say I am completely in LOVE with North Beach. If you are ever in the area make sure to get some gellato at the little bakery on the corner of Grant and Columbus. YUM!

Amber's Cruise with her Dad and sister, Debbie. Day 1: White Cliffs of Dover and the Kiel Canal. May 2006 : Here are all my fabulous pictures of my Baltic Sea Capitals Cruise in May of 2006! My Dad and I flew out and planned on meeting Debbie but her flight was delayed. Once in England Dad went ahead and I grabbed Debbie and we drove like crazy for the cruise ship. We made it just as the plank was going up! Seriously... Whew!! I had a film camera at the time so I had to borrow a lot of pictures from Debbie. Her's have a date in the right hand corner- just ignore it because the date is wrong most of the time. Hope you enjoy! (P.S. It might be easiest to view if you put it on slideshow)

Day 4: Tallinn, Estonia : Tallin was a very cool place to visit... It had an Oregon back woodsy feel when you went out of town but intown you definately got the castle vibe. The three of us found a neat little restaurant in the back corner of the "fort" (I have no idea what else to call it) and discovered a new sport that is played all around Estonia. Sword fighting! I guess they even have teams and leagues?!?! Whodda thunk. When the day was over I had the top deck all to myself because of the freezing fog but it made for some cool pictures. And yes I was still wearing that green dress... not exactly outside attire.

Day 8: Stockholm, Sweden; Archipelagos Islands : Here is where the Nobel Peace Prize ceremonies take place... I can see why! It was gorgeous. We went to where they have the dinner (they pack that place out) and then got a chance to look at the room where the daning is held. I was impressed with the mosaics because they were made with gold leaf pressed between glass. Break me off a chunk of that! Another highlight of the day was seeing the warship vasa which had a very funny story attached to it. The day that it was launched to sea it sunk within an hour because it was too narrow and tall. Plus the king wanted more cannons which meant more cannon holes, resulting in a quick fill up of Ocean water. My guess is that is why the nobel peace prize is really heald there. Make peace not war eh?
