back in NL

we are back where it all began, well for john at least. our tour de europe has ended :( we flew out of nice this morning at 8.15, which meant getting up at 4.45 (i haven't been up that early since my last day at starbucks). we flew into brussels, belgium then took a train into rotterdam, holland where paulina met us at the train station. john and i were so excited for the belgium waffles we had planned on getting for breakfast at brussels central station, but didn't have enough time... so upsetting. the stoop waffles on train slightly made up for it though (i'm bringing home a crap load of stoop waffles!!! so tastyyy). then to top it off paulina (who had just been in poland for a wedding) brought us home made perogis!!! so upon our arrival to her apartment she made us a delicious lunch!!! we will celebrate my birthday here in the netherlands (don't worry, you can give me my gifts when i get home;) ) then fly home the following day... while we are here in NL we have a lot of work to do in terms of gathering all of johns things, repacking them, and shipping them back to the US...

How was the welcome bach in california? what are your plans for the next time? I'm lokking forward for an intership from march to august 2010 within my studies. it should have to do with renewable energies. so maybe i will aply for an intership in the solar industry in californie ;-)
