TTFN!


We're winding down our last few days in the Netherlands in general, and our last few days before we abscond on our trip to Madagascar in particular. 

This means two things:

1. We're really looking forward to doing nothing but taking a million photos of giant land snails.

2. At least for purposes of higher reasoning and sentence formulation, I'm feeling quite a bit like a giant land snail.

Also, I'm really sad about saying goodbye to Peanut Cheese anytime soon.

Also, I'm in the middle of baking 15 dozen afscheidskoekjes — which translates literally to goodbye cookies — which I'll bring to work on Wednesday to mark my last day of gainful employment in the lowlands.  

Like most of the activities I'm engaged in these days, baking 15 dozen cookies at 10:00 on a Monday night seemed like a good idea at the time.

As a result of all of the above, I've allowed my evil procrastinating twin to take over.   

I'll be signing off until late March, when my swan song of notes and complaining from the Netherlands will be cleverly disguised as a photo essay on millipedes and giant snails...

...and a whole host of other critters with whom you might not want to share a tent!
