We made it to belgium yesterday morning (9:20 AM local time) 1:20 AM Utah time. We were exhausted from a long plane ride but we survived! We met some of the people that run the team and filled out a lot of paperwork, and finally they took us to our apartment. We were pooped so we took a nap. Our apartment is pretty fun and a lot bigger than expected. It has bright yellow walls :) We like it although Jared told me that the walls are too bright. ha...
We then woke up because one of the team manager guys came to take us to the grocery store and give us our car. We now drive a little mercedes hatchback thing. Pretty cute and little! The best part was trying to figure out how to put it in reverse... at one point i had to get out and push it backwards in the pooring rain because we couldn't figure it out... but don't tell Jared i told you :)
The grocery store was weird... try shopping in dutch. We couldn't figure out what stuff was, so everytime we saw something we recognized it was in the cart. The weirdest thing to me was there was no milk in the fridge, it was just sitting on the shelf... it had cows on it and said melk so we figured that's what it was...
Next we went out to eat. It was pretty good but we felt dumb because apparently you have to wave a server down to order.. ha we sat there for a good while.
Anyway, we are here and it is really nice! We are excited for our adventure even though we feel clueless!

That sounds like so much fun. I wish I could have seen the pouring down rain pushing the car thing. Very nice:D
This made me laugh :) Thanks for posting!! I have been thinking about you and wondering if you made it there ok! Your apartment is cute :) Love you!
Sounds like a blast. I am jealous that you are in europe, I want to go back. Find a gelato shop, and eat lots for me.
Yay you made it! Your new home is quite bright, your car sounds fun. I can't wait for more. Enjoy your time in Europe.

'MELK???' Sound nasty!! Did you try it?? Don't worry I won't tell the boys Jared didn't know how to put the car in reverse. LOL!!!
Ahhh I love it! Your apartment, that is! I love the walls- how fun! Guess you gotta learn Dutch, huh?! Good luck with every thing, glad you got there safely!
normally you shouldn't have to wave down waitresses at a restaurant here in Belgium. I think you just went to a place where service wasn't up to par.
"Melk" is dutch for "milk".
Have fun discovering belgium.

Hey, If you have any questions. I live in the same appartment building on the third floor so we will mee one day. So I can translate the difficult words for you guys :)!
If you want to go for a little walk. You can vist the 'Kesselse berg' (Kessel mountain) behind your appartement.
It is a hill-side nature area where you can overlook the city.
You know, they used to make the colour yellow in paint from dried cow ...
welcome
Just joking
