Well it was definitely a long trip! I left my house around 11 am and didn’t arrive in Maastricht till around 3:30 the next day! (sure 7 hours of that is because of time change… but still!) We flew from O’hare to Milan, then had a shorter ride from Milan to Amsterdam, and really the plane rides didn’t seem as long as I thought they’d be. I was just so excited! I wish I would have had a window seat! Since I didn’t sleep much during the some 10 hours of flying, I pretty much passed out on the 3 hour bus ride from Amsterdam to Maastricht, which was unfortunate because I missed yet more scenery! Before we left, I was a little nervous about traveling, but the only time I felt at all confused or nervous is when we changed planes in Milan. It was just a little disorienting for everything to be in another language, and I was afraid that I wouldn’t get on the right plane or that I might do something else silly. When we got to Maastircht and then to Teikyo, the university where we were staying, I was a little groggy, but a sense of excitement took over. As a group we went for a walk around Maastricht and everything just seemed so surreal. We all sat down at an outdoor café, and I drank a wonderful mango smoothie! I am not sure I talked much during the couple hours we were walking… I just couldn’t stop looking around! I love this town!
