Well I survived the first flight and managed to stay awake all day! Leaving my mom and Jody outsdie security was definitely hard. I knew it would be though. A knot of nervousness had been steadily growing in my belly all week. I had the emergency exit aisle so lots of room to stretch out and sleep. That was awesome. When i got to Schipol airport I found my shuttle easily and the hotel had space for me to check in early which was also awesome. I settled in and then I took the bus to downtown Amsterdam and wandered around until it started to rain pretty hard and decided it would be a good time to get on one of the canal tour boats since they are covered. I thought it might be really memorable since I watched the guide roll himself a joint before we left but it wasnt too eventful. It was a good tour to do to see and learn lots in a short time. Of course it did start to rain while I was quite far from the bus stop so I got absolutely soaked and frozen solid by the time I got back to my hotel. Thank goodness for the hair dryer
Tomorrow is another long flight. I leave here at 11am and arrive in addis ababa after 11pm. My roommate is due to arrive even later than me. Although I wasn't too keen on having a roommate at first. I will be happy to see an American, English speaking female in the same situation as me!
Until next time...
