... die offenen Diskussionen zeigen, daß man wirklich nicht alleine ist mit seinen Ängsten und kleinen Phobien, die man vielleicht so mit sich rumschleppt. TAG 3 - Die Gruppe wächst immer mehr zusammen und die Übungen werden immer kauziger. Heute sollten wir eine Brücke bauen für ein Dorf in Afrika. Das Material mit einer Preisliste wurde gestellt und wir sollten uns einen ersten Entwurf ausdenken, bevor der Dorfälteste kommt, um mit uns über die Einzelheiten zu sprechen ...

... something that only now having been home for a week really understand, then in the evening headed into Utrecht for some food and a few beers before an early night. Saturday, ah sightseeing time, Gerson had planned a trip to Den Haag (The Hague) to see the sights before heading to Delft for some karting with his friends which was fantastic. Finally it was a few beers in Delft before heading via Rotterdam back to Utrecht for my final foreign nights sleep of this trip.

... summer! For now, work, work, work.... and starting on the photo album I promised to make of the wedding day of my brother and A. 8 november was the big day! Busy, beautiful and full emotions! Specially as it became world news that they are expecting a baby as well! I will be an AUNT soon! In between: birthdays and meeting up with friends! Hectic, as usual ;-) Stay tuned on this weblog to find out what I am doing in the Netherlands!

Hello again. Our next stop was into Holland. We had 3 days to kill before our time in Amsterdam, so we decided to tour around some of the smaller, less well known places in Holland. This choice was made out of a lack of hostel space in the more well known areas, but such is life and we ended up having a good time! Our first stop was Utrecht, a small, non-distinctive town with not a lot going for it. Except for a ...

THURSDAY, 24th August Utrecht was the last city on our list to visit. We had not even touched the north east of the Netherlands let alone those countries to the north and south of us like Denmark and Belgium. We had had grand illusions of visiting Copenhagen and Brussels when planning this trip to Europe but they are just a tad too far for a quiet afternoon drive. [ I am ashamed to mention that my other ...

... of celebration seemed to be going on and there was a horse drawn carriage going up and down the street. My sense is that the horses are not too well treated. They were clomping up and down the bike path, which is not wide enough for the horses - just wide enough for the carriage. Headed down towards Laurenskerk, just outside of the bombed areas. It was bombed but not completely destroyed - hollowed out, I'd say. It was built during the years 1449-1525. In 1572 the church ...

... all stallions housed next to each other, and there was no animosity between them at all. So, we got to see all these great horses, then we headed off to our next stop. The town of Celle was very cute and reminded me alot of Canterbury, England. It was small and full of history. There were all kinds of cool old buildings from the 13th and 14th centuries. We got a walking tour of the city from a great old lady, full of information and stories. Our next stop ...

... She's only been to the place a couple times but he must remember her for some reason. This happens also at a sandwich place near my office. Julie doesn't always get the same thing but one thing does remain constant - she likes their olive bread. Well, one day Julie went to the shop by herself and before she even said a word the server said to her 'you always come too late, we're already out of olive bread'. The last of Julie's fans is at our local Thai restaurant ...
