hmmm...

  This last week has been up and down. My friend Nik Gumeson who plays baseball in Holland finished his season and  hoppoed on a train to Herne! We had a good time catching up and experiencing the German ways. We grabbed a brotworsht downtown and went out one evening to the bremuda triangle with Pia and Inga Kassack. Inga is Pia's sister and her boy friend Toby plays handball. I had never seen or played hand ball so they took me to experience one of his games. I have to say I'm not the biggest fan, but it is a very popular sport in Europe.
  Pre season is almost over and I am sad to say I am on the sideline with a back injury right now. I have been going to therapy and doing all I can to get back. The season starts October first so wish me luck!

Amsterdam


Puck, Pia, Britt, Halie, Nik, Mark 


My friends Nik Gummison and Mark Moormon live and play baseball in the Hoofddorp Netherlands, which happens to be 10 minutes from Amsterdam! Nik and Mark both played at the University of Utah and Mark is originally from Holland! Marks girl friend, Puck, lives and goes to school in Amsterdam! With our two day weekend me, my teammates Pia, Minja, and Brittany decided to get our European tour on! We weren't able to watch one of there baseball game do to the weather. It's always raining but thank goodness we are tough woman and it didn't effect our desire to see Amsterdam. The shopping is amazing as it is everywhere in Europe! We also discovered Gay street and unfortunately the red district. So much to see in so lil time but the city is beautiful and crooked! I will go back to see more!
Yes people live in those!
Gay street! Isn't he cute! Marks friend from HS.
