Well, we made it here and are starting to settle in. Once we got past the jet-lag and stress of making it here in one piece (along with Kay) we found a beautiful country, very friendly people, and plenty to do. We are currently staying in a dutch hotel right in downtown Brunssum. They call the downtown area the Centrum. So we are right by the Centrum which basically consits of shops and restraunts. We have been able to get by pretty easily here because most everyone speaks English. Most restraunts have English in the menu, but boy when they don't it is sure hard to order. They do prefer if you at least attempt Dutch though, so we are working on it. We have learned the important words like Please- Alstublieft, Thank You- Dank U Wel, and I have learned to recognize the word Verkoop- which means Sale ;) Kay-go-gi is adjusting to the new smells here and likes the attention because they don't have many beagle muts here. Really no muts at all. They mostly have the tiny dogs that you can fit into your purse. Anyways, we are all doing well and it seems like we will really like it here...but still, there's no place like home.

Hi Joe and Jen,
It was great to get your email with the web address. We've all been wondering how you were doing. We've asked your mom and dad if they heard from you. Your pics are great. I'm glad you have a nice place to stay and are figuring out the area. I'll look often to see how things are going
