Notes on the past 72 hours
Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 11:09PM said goodbye to 27 darlings
sat on a loooong bus ride
drugged myself with Dramamine
got poked at by nepalis checking to see if i was still alive
arrived in delhi at my favorite little "guest home" (i love how they call it that)
walked the streets of delhi and decided if i was ever a food critic i'd want to be one of street food... it's sooo good
got on the plane for my first trip ever to the netherlands
sprawled out across three seats and slept
got picked up at the airport by a very kind man Jeroen (the guy whose idea the summit was.) He woke up at 4 in the morning just to come get me!
learned some new dutch phrases on the drive
got to the hotel and met rebecca aka the action jackson superhero, wonder woman who planned the whole summit!
ate breakfast and decided rebecca should be my new best friend
walked around and explored rotterdam a bit
came back to my hotel room and took my first hot bath/shower/hot real ANYTHING in 5 months
stayed in the bath until i felt like a dizzy wrinkled raisin
got out
got back in
got out
ate swiss chocolate
read my book
took a second bath
*while eating swiss chocolate and reading my book
locked myself IN my room (who does that?) and felt like a real ditz when i had to call the front desk and of course a cute guy came to get me out
"You have to turn the handle miss," -him (said in a thick dutch accent)
"I'm tryyyyying but I can't get out!!" - me
proud of myself for saying "dahnk yuh vel" when i finally DID get out and made cute dutch boy smile
met up with all the people who have arrived so far for japanese hibachi dinner
ate good tempura and miso soup
good night sleep in white crisp hotel sheets
another hot bath (because even with all the baths yesterday i didn't wash my hair... oops)
decided that if there was a enviro police they would have come and put me in jail for wasting water
up and at em' heading to TEDx in Amsterdam today!
Me in my hotel room this morning... hot water + bathtub = bliss
