Hi guys,
I know it's been a while since I last updated, but I haven't been by a computer in a while. Well, while I was in Aberdeen, I got to see a pretty cool castle and Loch Ness in between trying to recover from my illness. I have to thank our amazing hosts Sander and Whitney for letting us stay at their place and cooking some authentic Scottish food (including haggis!) We flew out of Scotland into Amsterdam on the 31 and we stayed there a few days. We got to see the Ann Frank house, the Van Gogh museum and even got to bike around town like the locals. After Amsterdam, we hopped on a train for Brugge. I have to say that Brugge is probably óne of my favorite cities so far. It had an amazing town square with a huge belfry that we got to climb, and other churches and museums we got to visit. Overall, the best part was that it was pretty laid back and the weather wasn't cold, rainy, or humid. We ended up staying in Brugge for 3 days, with one of those days being a free day of sorts where everyone split up and did what they wanted. I was able to catch up on some reading then and even get a haircut. After Brugge, we traveled to Köln, stopping for a few hours in Brussels. There we got to see some huge Palaces and a statue of a peeing boy (yes, and I got video to prove it.) Köln has been fun so far, we are staying at a hostel right on the Rhine and there is a catherdral called the Dom that is the oldest church in Germany. We arrived in Köln last night, and today we got to tour the Dom and a cool musuem that had some Picasso artwork among others. There is also an evangelical conference going on here outside the Dom, and we got to hear some worship songs.
On a side note, I have discovered that supermarkets are the cheapest source of food and as such I have made it a habit to buy almost all of my food there...they are pretty easy to spot, they have been the same brand or store ever since Brugge. Anyways, right now I'm watching a football game (soocer) and someone just scored, so I gotta go!
