Day Three in Holland

Day three
- last night (this morning) we all stayed up until 3:30 chatting about various topics. Mag kept jokingly telling stories about "her bf" since tan and al kept talking about Ryne and nick. We laughed and talked so loud we were afraid of waking the neighbors.
- Al woke up at 745 and sat out on the porch and enjoyed the serene morning.
- around 11 we left to see Lisa (Tanya's cousin) and a bunch of her friends go sky diving.
- we arrived at the sky dive place to discover there were 2 open spots on the plane with Lisa in it. After a few minutes of debate mag&al decided to do it!!!!
- it was very very spur of the moment and we were very scared
- the waver was basically just our signatures and it cost 165€
-we were given some instructions, some suits, and we were then told to wait until our turn, so we got I see then other part of the group skydive first
- finally it was out turn and we jumped in the plane and went 9,000 feet up!

- the plane ride up was really fun because it was just so beautiful to see Holland from that perspective
- and finally we jumped out of the plane and had the experience of a lifetime in Holland, with awesome Dutch people

- after skydiving we drove to a restaurant called the Bertmond and ate with the family and Lisa's friends
- Alicia tried a rose beer and it was very tasty!
-the Dutch people thought Alicia an Maggie were very silly because we wanted to play in a fountain
-the meal was delicious!

- it is interesting because Dutch people will always stay a long time after the meal at a restaurant and just order more drinks!
- we went back to the house and got bikes ready for a bike ride
-we biked nine miles to Tanya's uncles grocery store in hoevelaken where we bought a few Dutch goodies, Tanya said hello to her uncles, and we grabbed our bikes and headed back to our little cabin!
- on our way back we went and frolicked in a field where we took pictures of cows


- when we got back to the house we relaxed for a while and went to bed
- actually Alicia went to bed and tan and mag stayed up muuuuch later
