So we were able to tune in for the Superbowl this year. We met up with eight other Americans we work with at Coco's, which is an Australian bar in Rembrandtplein. The kick off was at 12:17. Midnight. On a Sunday. I know it's crazy, but it was great!! Everyone piled out of the bar at 4:30 am afterwards and cycled home. While we weren't able to see any of the much anticipated commercials, we saw ads for Tiger Beer and "party lines", (which,in the Netherlands the girls are actually naked in them too). Not quite the same, but it was nice to be out and make an occassion of the game.
Matthew's birthday was on Monday, feeling a bit worse for the wear, he was a trooper and made it thru the day. It's a Dutch tradition for the person whose birthday it is to supply the treats. He brought two chocolate torte's for the Studio. Their actaully called "Thre Real Chocolate Torte". They are so rich and amazingly sinful mmmmmmmmm. I picked up his favorite for dinner, a bucket of KFC and we called it a day. It was lekker.
We leave for Paris next Thursday. It's a birthday / Valentines weekend for us. I'm so excited. I've been there once before when my sister was in town, so it's nice to be able to relax and to take it all in a little slower than last time. (Jen and I walked ten miles our first day and every day after)
That's about it from this side of the pond. Pics of Paris to come later....
