hello world. i'm sitting on the steps of an old reformed church in hilversom. it's lunch break and i'm eating a sweet cheese sandwhich. actually the cheese isn't sweet tasting, but the sandwhich sure is sweet. oh the rabbit trails...
so far this experience is fantabulicious. (work that word into your daily vocab for best social results) HICC is a very cool international church that is in its early stages here in hilversum. more on that later. the team is good. no one has gotten sick... so far. but we did have one casualty... one of the guys plugged a power strip into teh wall (using one transformer) and blew out all the power back at our lodge. poor poor power strip. it died so young.
cobblestone streets. cool little cars. very nice people. one purchased Netherlands world cup jersey. i got a name put on the back, but was a bit nervous because i thought the guy may have put a dutch curse word on it. his buddies were laughing as he put the letters on. talk about being uncertain. it could have been the thing that got me beat up in the airport.... but i asked one of teh nationals if this was alright and she said it was fine. it is tough being an american who grew up thinking "why should i ever learn a foriegn language? the world speaks english right?"
miss the fam, but sounds like they are having fun. and Brad if you are reading this... i waved when we flew over dublin. so close, yet so far away. Robbie says hello.
one last thing... so far the tape is holding on the camera... the wonder of tape and a little quick thinking.
