Today was not too bad. I woke up late this morning, jumped into the shower, had some coffee and cream cheese sandwich and then headed off for the day. My host mom was going to visit her elderly mother in law and so she dropped me off at a near by tram station where I went to Utrecht central to meet up and head to Amsterdam. The weather was cold and raining a little. Amsterdam was as bustling as ever though. There were more people in the cafeteria of the university so we handed out far more brochures, however when 2 roled around and it was time for our presentation, no one showed up. Ah well. We left campus for lunch and stopped at a small side café. I had a 3 layer BLT sandwich it was quite good. Arriving back in Utrecht, we headed to the university where our office is to be for the next few weeks. It was sufficient. We outlined what was still to be done just in time for us to leave. Back with my host mom, I had home made pizza and leftover beet salad and chicken for supper with cheese and cappuccino. After supper researched some places that would serve as suitable staff hotels. We also (no joke) looked through 20 photo albums of pictures of all of the trips the family has taken over the years. (Check out her website at http://www.maatje44.nl/)Tomorrow I’ve got to be at the station shortly before 9am as we have a busy day with a newspaper interview and visiting a few other sites the cast will visit and use. Its all Good™ (except I really miss Miranda back in Newfoundland)
