i just emailed my potential au pair family in belgium and told them i am in.
now i just have to get them to ok me.. and then i have a million other things to do.

i had a really intense week with lots of talks about the future. but i also slept outside, rode a lot of bikes, laid in my hammock a ton, all with a crushy feeling.



for chris, here is a bad photo of my bike. it was the first photo i took with my fish eye camera and it didn't quite work out but bah.

what does this city have to offer me? i just can't see.

i have a good post coming up, but i'm at work and the internet is just tooo slow, so i might just post this manatee family for now:
