So, this spring I also went to Washington DC! I am waaaay behind on posting photos, but we'll catch up. Wow, I've been too busy traveling to even think about looking for Ms. Spork...

Soon, I'll be back on my global travels. Hope everyone is enjoying their summers!

So, after I went to Florida, I also went and hung out in Georgia for a couple days. Here I am in front of the amazingly shiny gold dome of the Atlanta capitol building!

We also went out for some real Georgia style barbecue. It was pretty tasty and the Brunswick stew was great.

More Georgia next week! till then, happy Sporking!

After all my international travels, I decided to kick around the US for awhile. So over spring break, I went to FLorida! Don't get too excited, there were no hott beach babes involved. But there were some really cool people talking about the middle ages.

Here are pictures!

That's all from Florida; next up, Atlanta, GA!

Man, I am such a globetrotter, and I'm way behind on posting pictures. I've been so busy traveling that I haven't even had a chance to check out the ladies!

Here are the last two pictures from India - the Lotus temple and the Red Fort:

Whooo! So after Taiwan, and then a week here to watch the super bowl, I was back to the east to go to India. Had a BLAST and got to see some awesome places. I went to the Taj Mahal!

Came back from Taiwan (more pictures of that later) just in time to watch the home town team beat out the Dirty Birds in a truly tine-biting game. My friends and I partied on the streetcorner after the Steelers hard fought victory.

Here I am at a giant sacred bell at a temple whose name I couldn't pronounce...

So I am off on another whirlwind adventure - this time to Taiwan! Here I am looking out over the skyline of Taichung after arrival.

HEY!

been a busy couple of days around here. I spent last Friday at a Trappist Brewery- La Trappe - in the Southern Netherlands, by Tilburg. Had a great time, even if the tour was in Dutch! good times, man. Here I am sampling the local brews:




of course, not all of the Netherlands looks like a painting. I also went to Rotterdam, and here I am in front of a weirdly shiny, excessively modern building:




I am off to Belgium tomorrow, to eat frites and drink beer. Ciao, bellas!

Today, the Sporkster headed off to Delft, home of Johannes Vermeer and all the tile factories. I also visited the Prinsenhof - an old convent which was converted into the home of William the Silent, one of the country´s great political figures who was assassinated in, i think, 1584 or so.

Here I am in the Prinsenhof in front of the spot where he was assassinated. it´s at the base of a stairway, and those holes in the wall are the bullet holes from the assassination. Kind of weird and creepy, but also cool to see.

Today, I went to haarlem. Here i am in front of the Grote Markt and Sint Bavo, standing on the steps of the stadhuis. beautiful town, all yinz guys should go!

met up with some pals at the museum as well. great time!

Long time no blog, kiddos!

Well, I´m abroad for the summer, spending some time in the Netherlands. I was at this living history museum in Arnhem, and got a nice tourist to take this picture:




more to come as I see more of the country!
(even though they won´t let me into the rijksmuseum in amsterdam.)

whoa!
out of town visitors mean good times! This past weekend I escorted a lovely lady to the National Aviary, where we got to check out some avian buddies.

Hey guys! Sorry I've been awol. Just been busy cruising the local silverware drawers looking for the future Mrs. Spork. No luck yet, but here's hoping. I also got to go to the spa last weekend. Got all lathered up and massaged by this cute redhead and everything.

So it's been a busy couple days for the SporkNation in the media. Not all the portrayals are positive though. Sporks, like humans, are concerned about the potentials of genetic engineering:

at the other end of the spectrum, we sporks are great at fixing relationships!




see y'all on the flip side!
