Where to start...

Since I have decided that emailing my adventures is no longer the most modern thing to do (it takes a while for me to adapt to trends), I figured I would try blogging instead.

To summarize, I quit my job at the end of September, then had a holiday in Berlin and Spain. I have been living in Delft, The Netherlands for the past three weeks. I began my classes at UNESCO-IHE (formerly IHE-Delft) two and a half weeks ago. I should complete my MSc in Water Supply Engineering in May 2008.

Enough of the formalities. Yesterday I was repeatedly questioned by classmates, professors, and staff about whether I had voted. Unfortunately, I did not. I left the US too soon and I arrived here to late to be able to cast an absentee ballot. I hope that everybody at home did vote (as my sister said in her teacher voice, "it's a right, not a duty"). There are elections here in two weeks and the locals are beginning to voice their opinions. But I don't really know what the situation is because I have not had access to my precious Economist.

But I don't want to write about politics. I'll leave that to the professionals.

I wish I'd caught you while you were still in Spain. I thought you might find this interesting.

Hi Judith. We are sitting here on Thanksgiving Day, thinking of you. We miss you, but we have not put mushrooms into the gravy, there are 2 stuffing recipes (one with junk and one without) and the turket is right side up in the oven. Dana is NOT making cheese balls cause she has a new recipe. And Sara (and Andy) are pregnant! We're glad you are having fun and another great adventure ---also learning a lot I am sure. Love, Diane, Ed, Sara, Dana, Lauren, Andy, Dan

isn't voting the duty that gives us the right to complain?
