Hello All!

Hoe gaat het met jou? (how are you? pulled straight from my translation book!!)

Jan- Carel! I'm going to the Veluwe tomorrow morning! Then to Apeldoorn to see some family, finding a hostel and then touring around on Tuesday, sleeping there.. and then off on the train to Groiningen... 

3DGuy - yes I do know that there are a lot of dutch in Canada.. I am one of them! My family populated BC with dutch! I have 20 aunts and uncles!! and you should see the city I live in right now! It's dutch city!

Today, I didn't do much.. I am helping out a family that I work for in Canada so I helped them a little today but got to see the area that they live in.. It's so beautiful... not that many hills either... it is cloudy here but still warm to it's interesting trying to figure out if you need to wear a jacket or not... and it's a different warm than Canada..

I also realized today that you really need to pack your clothes atleast 2 days before leaving.. because it gives you more time to think things through.. For example, for pants, all I brought was two pair of jeans! Opps! Today I wanted to go to a church to see what it was like but also to be at a service... But I felt too weird going there in jeans so I just ended up helping with the family I work for. Which turned out to be no big deal.. It was a good day.. I picked up a few more dutch words which is helpful..

I have to find a place that sells the train maps for the Netherlands tomorrow.. and a place to stay.. but I think it will all work out!

Anyone want to come with me and tour the Netherlands? It's going to be interesting!

anyway.. it's night time here... and I just talked with my family in Canada and now need to sleep!

Have a great day/night!

nicole!
