Day 1

I am officially living in castle Well in the town of Well, in the district of Limburg, in the country of The Netherlands (or Holland). The plane ride took a surprisingly short 5 1/2 hours, and we touched down into rainy Amsterdam around 7:30 Euro time. It took 2 hours to reach Well, and we had to carry our luggage over the bridge (which is directly above the moat), into the main hall of the castle. The inside was really cool...very medieval looking and authentic...yet with a modern flair. We met the staff (all either Dutch or German or of some other norther European origin.) They moved us into our rooms..mine is really big, airy, comfortable. It also has two sinks for convenience, and a great view of the moat/fields. Some of my friends and I walked around the town...and the many fields that surround the castle. Now I am going to sleep...SO exhausted after no sleep for almost 48 hours.
