We made it.
Eight people and one very long plane ride later. We are with our family in Holland. Phew!
I did not think I would have a chance to write, but jet lag does funny things to a person. At 5:30 this morning, I was up and ready for my day. So, I do have a few minutes.
Yesterday, the Dutch won their match against France in the European soccer championship tournament. That means they go on to the quarter finals and will play Romania on Tuesday. In the states we have the super bowl, or basketball championships (the Lakers have their work cut out for them), but over here it’s all soccer. The fun part is that besides professional soccer teams, each country has its own national team, too.
So, last night we all gathered in Hanneke’s living room to watch the match. Twenty or so of us, all dressed in orange (Holland’s national color), to cheer on the Dutch national team. We decorated with orange streamers and ballons. Some of us even wore orange hats and/or wigs. Great fun. A night that I will always remember.
I’ll post photos when I get back from vacation in July!
