Stranded?

Allright, so, here I am in Nijmegan awaiting my airplane tickets. How terribly suspensful this is. Andrew leaves his host family at 4:00 am on monday morning. I am at his host famlies now. do you see the rising action here?

Ill let you know.

Nijmegan.

Unbelievable. This bunny named Elmo has still not moved. Hello friends and family. I am in Heemskert once again staying with the always cool Caleb, but only for a few hours. I am getting ahead of myself though, lets start where I left off. So I had a wonderful time in Paris, I climbed to the top of the Eiffel tower. I mean really, I climbed it as high as I could on the stairs. After my climb I then endured the most mortifying elevator ride in my life. The experience was pretty cool, but interestingly enough nobody speaks Frence on top of the Eiffel tower. Unfortunately the catacombs were closed on Monday but I assume a few years from now there will be a next time. I keep on thinking how great it would be to come to Europe with family. Someday :-) So I said goodbye to my wonderful host ( Enguerran ) and got on the train to Nijmegan. Andrews little town ( Lindem ) just outside of Nijmegan is adorable. His home was once a barn and has been converted into a very beautiful and spacious home. Nijmegan itself is the 5th largest city on The Netherlands and looks like a perfect little backlot of some Hollywood studio. It is something like over 1000 years old. Yesterday Andrew, Hima, and I headed to Amsterdam for the last time cause Andrew went to the Radiohead concert. Me and my friend Hima just hung out in the city. I do believe I saw some of the most absurd things I have ever seen last night in Amsterdam...and to think it was only a Tuesday night. In fact, for the first time Europe shocked me last night. But nevermind that. I only say nevermind that because to think about those absurd happenings would put a damper on this beautiful stormy day in Heemskert. My scene right now is rather safe. Here in Amsterdam the word "safe" means "chill". In fact, let me guide your gaze the the photo on the top left that accompanies this entry. Ha, everyone of these cats are from different places. Columbia, Holland, Belgium, Chile, California, etc... Allright so I am off to Nijmegan now so I will update again tomorrow. Also from there I can call the Embassy. Again, thank you Mom and Dad for helping me get back to America. Marianne I love you so much but if you left my Macbook in your car I will step on Sissy. Andrew, I got you some radical things in Paris. In fact, I got you two things just dont tell anyone else in the family, ok? Randy and Jessica I will I cant wait to see my new Niece and the only thing standing in my way is that ticket making it here to Nijmegan. Mom, I hope that puts the fire under your butt ;-) Oh hey Mike&Eric, I remember when I lived with you guys you did not have salt and pepper shakers for some reason, or you needed new ones, I dont quite remember. Point is, whatever your salt and pepper shaker situation is now, its about to get a whole lot cooler with something I found for you guys in Brussels :-) I hope you all had a smashing time at the girls birthday party. I look forward to seeing the 4,395,658 photos that were taken.

I miss you all and Ill see you soon enough.
