Wednesday May 9: The rest of the day

Well, sorry it has been so long since an update! This is the first time since the airport since I have found Internet. And just so you know that might happen from time to time! I hope you all continue to keep updated on our journal entries! Here is the rest of Wednesday the 9th of May Alright, well hopefully all of you got the message that we arrived safely in Amsterdam at the Schiphol Airport. We waited just a while to meet up with Jean Paul (our bus driver whose name I butchered earlier). After meeting up with Jean Paul we we headed to visit the Zaanse Schaans, which is an open aired museum. There we saw windmills, how mustard is made, how logs are stripped for carpentry, and the favorite how wooden shoes are made. It was a very long day for us travel wise, so after our sight seeing for the day we headed to the church in Haarlem (Doopsgezinde Gemeente) where we practiced a little and met our host parents for the evening. A few of us were fortunate enough to spend quality time with our host parents going to the supermarket and spending some time on the beach. Many of us had early nights due to the jet lag we are experiencing and the little sleep that was caught on the plane. But we all have had a great day especially with the warm, greetings from our host families!
