I will have to be brief since I'm writing from a small internet cafe in Nairobi. Kyle and I have had quite the day today, but I will write about that in a separate post-- the juxtaposition of yesterday and today is simply too harsh.
Well, we sadly had to say goodbye to Huizinge, to Groningen, and to all of our beloved relatives. To all who so generously accommodated us, namely Annemarie and Harm as well as Koos and Marijke, we sincerely thank you for the wonderful hospitality you showed us during our stay.

After leaving Groningen train station, we headed down to Amsterdam Centraal. We found our hostel without any trouble, and managed to check ourselves in. We then spent the day visiting the Dutch Historical Museum and the Anne Frank house, as well as wandering through the city (we did behave ourselves, Mom).
In the evening we found a bar down the street from our hostel, parked ourselves in front of the projection screen, and watched Holland beat the snot out of the former World Champions (sorry Dave, I had to say it).
It was great.
The next morning we had to wake up too early. I should really learn my lessons.

Beat the snot out of? Indeed. If Italians had any snot left, it was removed violently by the Dutch counter-attack.
And now that all is done, I am glad that Spain won. At least Italy can say that they lost, in penalties, to the eventual winner.
Hope all went well. I'm not sure if you are back on home turf yet, nevertheless, well-wishes are borderless.
Keep it real,
David
