hey guys

sorry that i can't write each of you back personally, but that would take all flippin day on this keyboard. so i'm just giving everybody an update:

the day after i got here we left for the coast of spain, i was still badly suffering from jetlag, but god took care of me. when we got there i discovered that i would be sharing a room with my younger host brother, bert. bert is a pretty cool guy so it was fine with me. i don't really remember exactly what we did each day, but i saw the absolute most beautiful things i have ever seen in my entire life!!! we went swimming everyday and shopping most days and i had a totally smashing time!!!!!

then last saturday it was time to come home and we started out on our 10 hour trip at around 9 in the morning. then around 12 our audi a6 broke down on the side of the road.... oy vei!!! it was super hot and we were in the mifddle of france with a dying cell phone.... kind of sad.. we ended up staying three nights in france and coming home yesterday (tuesday).

last night after we got home i had to go to a rotary meeting which was super-boring, mostly because it was all men over the age of 60 who spoke mostly flemmish...... oy

but now i'm here in belgium and my family is really nice and i'm having a really good time!!! i'll try and write again before i leave, but if i dont then i will see all of you when i get home! my plane leaves on the 31 of July, so ya......

miss you all tons and love you even more--
