so we are bouncing around from hostel to hostel and stumbled upon this one in utrecht with all the FREE food you want...how crazy....so naturally us poor backpackers have eaten ourselves stupid. we are trying to figure out if we can make it to arnhem where there is a national park with free bikes, but i cant seem to find any accommodation..so we'll see. we havent been doing much at all because we are really trying to save money..in a way i kind of feel like we miss out on some things but in the long run just being here is a great experience...but the euro is killing us! so this translates into good quality bonding time between the 3 of us...we played lots of cards, dutch scrabble with 18 letter E's...(is that normal? we couldnt remember)...dan played ryan in checkers a few times and beat him bad every time but ryan is such a good sport he agrees to play again and again....while i sit and try to plan tomorrow...GO RED SOX! the boys were bummed they are missing unbelievable pats games and important red sox games...hopefully we can catch some games somewhere! kira is going to meet us somewhere!!!!!! i havent seen her in 6 years maybe? and im super excited that she is planning on meeting us somewhere...she is such a beautiful person inside and out...so for now we are going to go walk around the city before the sun goes down and work off some of this food hopefully..and then we will probably come back and eat again.
