Being here is like a dream, it looks familiar but everything is so much larger than life.
The coffee, the pizza, the views...My kid has the time of his life!
He never flew before, and he is slightly apprehensive about the whole experience of being in the States, but manages to bluff his way through it all...
We "did" the Arch today, and the most spectacular Saint Louis Zoo.
We also saw the storm damage from last weekends tornado that touched ground and blew away whole housing blocks, factory walls, trucks, powerlines and trailer-parks, a very daunting sight...
Back at the hotel more and more teams are arriving, and conferring their strategies and tactics for the games, whilst our team is enjoying the hotel-swimming-pool, which counts as preparation as well in our humble opinion: Work hard, play hard!
Tomorrow the kids are off on their exchange with the American team, that just delivered twenty pounds of candy for the kids from Nijmegen!, and I am off on my mission to buy records if all goes well.
Or I wake up, and I am not sitting here in the hotel-lobby, with a huge Starbucks caffee-latte, next to an open fire...
Somebody pinch me already!
