So I realize that there's no sense starting a blog if I don't tell you a thing or two about the town we are in! So yeah, Michelle and I are living in Maastricht, as you should know. It's located in the south of the Netherlands, smooshed between Belgium and Germany.
Dit is het Sint Servaas Basilica ------------>
The city is split in two by the Maas river, which flows way up north, and down south into Belgium. It's a pretty old city (vying for the oldest in the Netherlands), and it's got its own saint buried in it (Saint Servatius).<-------Church that tells us we're almost home!
If you really want to know all the history and lay out, I recommend visiting. Right now round trip from the west coast to the closest airport is under $500!!!
Anyhow, Michelle is studying here for a year at the AZM for Maastricht University. I am just taking the year easy, writing, and looking for some sort of part time job. So far the job hunt has been unsuccessfull, but I haven't quit yet :)
So we spend our days, just living a normal life here. Usually if the weather is nice, we take a bike ride, since that's what pretty much everyone does here. Plus there are bike trails everywere. In fact, there is an average of one bike per person here in the Netherlands....So biking is a must!
Well, winterland starts this weekend, so perhaps I'll have some interesting photos to put up from that! Take care and what not :)
Chris
