We arrived in Amsterdam this morning at 8 A.M. local time, 2 A.M. our body time. The hardest part of the trip was getting out of Norfolk in the midst of the NorEaster. Dave met us at the airport. The weather here was similar to what we left . . . rainy, cold, and windy. After a short train ride we took a 15 minute walk in the rain with our bags to get to the base. We got there just in time to hear the whole group tell the stories of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. It was a neat experience to be there. It gave me a real understanding of what the process involves. It's a fun group of people, and we've had a great time being with them.
We ate lunch at a Mexican restaurant run by Egyptians. Dave carried on a nice conversation in Arabic. Then we went shopping at an open air market. This evening Dave took us down to the city center (thankfully not in the rain) where this picture was taken. It's a real treat to be together as a family. I look forward to spending the rest of our time together. This is short, but I'll talk to you later.

I'm so glad you got there! We were worried that you might not have been able to fly out; so much so that Mum called you all to see. :) Can't wait to hear more....
