The Netherlands

The back yard



A Dutch dinner

On Tuesday morning Europe time I arrived in the Netherlands where i was greeted by Paulien and her family. It was a great relief to be off the plane and on some firm ground. The first week has been good but a little different as there are many things that I have to get use to. For instance they speak Dutch here, so I got some children's books out from the library and have been learning as fast as I can. The temperature is very cold here too, thats something to get use to. This weekend we have carnival Den Boosch which is big party, but I'm going to find out more. Pamela my sister is coming over on Monday and Liz my cousin is coming over next Friday. So many things to do. Will be on the hunt for an Engineering job next week too. ok so far so good. Oh and I got a hair cut, it's short.
