New country transition again! After our longest bus ride of 11 hours, we made it into Apeldoorn! My host family was wonderful this week! The first night Janey and Harry were already making fun of my roommate Clemence and I's attempt at speaking Dutch.
Here's to representing CO in the back of the bus!
Vlaai: basically peach pie
Tuesday we went to the Salvation Army for CI and planted 100 meters of new trees along a walkway in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation area. It was nice to have manual labor to do. That night Janey and Harry took us to a surprise which was going looking for wild deer and pigs in the local forest! The weather was beautiful and we had a lot of fun.
On class day we also decided to explore the city and get some much needed ice cream!
Meet Caleb(AZ): He was so excited that we matched, and he also wanted to take a photo with the "parasol". He is one of the funniest characters in the cast!
Thursday was a very special show day. We got the opportunity to perform in the Royal Theatre for the Princess of Apeldoorn and many other VIPs of UWP.
Host family day was a full one this week! Janey and Harry took Clemence and I to surrounding villages of Amsterdam. We saw how wooden clogs were made, had a picnic, saw cheese being made, and even saw a field of tulips! I was so excited because that was something I had really been wanting to do. All along the way we took some pretty typical tourist photos!
