Groetjes van vanuit Nederland
So we’re here. I haven’t slept yet, but it’s already 4:40 in the afternoon here, so I’m going to try to stay up at least until dinner. There’s some sort of big party for my cousin’s birthday tomorrow, and I’d like to be at least half awake for that.
I’m at my aunt and uncle’s house right now — it’s so lovely. I’ll show you once I get some video together. I’m near-delirious at the moment from stress* and lack of sleep, and I don’t feel like doing anything but sitting out in the garden, sipping tea, eating dark chocolate, and watching the sheep and goats wander along the dike. This is the LIFE, I tell ya.

* The first leg of our trip (Houston to Toronto) was on a little regional jet, and we took off into a thunderstorm, the combination of which was NOT OKAY. I probably spent a quarter of the flight crying into my mom’s shoulder. Seriously, I do not like the little planes and the bumping. The big plane was fine, totally fine—moderately stressful, yes, but no freaking out. I was planning to write so much more about this, but my whole left arm HURTS and I’m TIRED. Going to go smell the flowers and watch the sheep now.

Barbie jet? That’s precious.
