i also wanted to say this:

It seems that most dutch people do not believe that someone could get fat eating only cheese and bread. they seem to think a diet filled with almost only this is actually healthy. i'm baffled... especially as i see myself get softer and softer around the edges. Correct me if i'm wrong, but in Canada don't we try to limit our cheese and bread intake? I mean... fruits and veggies first right!? but it seems here, it's considered good health to eat Lots of cheese (the older the better... i agree) and bread bread bread.

Well when in holland...



So Linda and I are planning on leaving for Paris this thursday. We're planning on being there a week and then I leave for Canada on Friday the 20th. I'm honesly missing home now, but i'm so sad to leave Europe. I need to come back here.

For us, it will be good to know you are safely home again. But it looks like you are having one of the best times of your life out there. I'm glad you're going to Paris with someone rather than alone. Enjoy! I'm really enjoying the pictures!
Love,
Mom

ya when my sis in law and her mom were here they couldn't believe how much bread and cheese and meat we eat and don't get fat. i don't find it strange cuz i've grown up eating like this since my mom is german. the thing is that a) europeans tend to eat smaller portions. and they don't go for seconds. and second they don't eat FAT. they still turn up their noses at fast food out here, even though there are quite a few mcdonalds'. it's more of an emergency restaurant if there really is nothing else affordable around. lol. carbs are not our enemy! and cheese is totally healthy! it's the good fats, not the nasty deep-fried fats. lol
