Dearest readers,
You were probably expecting a long and detailed paragraph about my departure the day I arrived in the Netherlands on July 5th. But there wasn’t one, because I personally didn’t think there was anything special about the departure. The day we left was July 4, and we were staying at a friends house in San Jose. I walked in the Bay Lands with him in the morning and then we went to a independence day block party in San Jose. That night he drove us to the airport. I didn’t cry when we left like I thought I would, and when I got of the plane in Amsterdam, I looked like a train wreck (as usual) and I met my grandparents at the airport, which is great. They gave us welcome flowers and showered us in hugs and kisses. But, this whole experience was normal. Nothing was different from just going on vacation. That really changed perspective on the trip, because now the trip feels more like an extended vacation.
Bon Voyage,
