HaPpY VaLeNtiNe'S DaY!!

Happy Valentine's Day!! Valentine's Day is celebrated here, but mostly by the "college age" folks. For most poeple, having a girlfriend or boyfriend is not allowed and is considered culturally inappropriate. If they did have a boyfriend or girlfriend and their parents found out... well, lets just say that it wouldn't be a good thing... So anyway... on Valentine's Day, if you go to ANY park in the city, you will see tons of couples paired off everywhere hanging out (and hiding out)... You can see a picture of this below:
Yesterday we went to the park in the picture above. It's called "The Garden of Five Senses". It's a really cool park! There were TONS of people there (and tons of couples too) :)
At the top of one of the hills, there was a great view :) (see below)
My mom loves to see pics of me with flowers... so Adam was taking my pic by the flowers below... well aparently this flower bush was a hair-eating bush! Somehow my hair got all tangled in it!
As we were leaving... we found a camel! Adam and I got our pictures on it :) We just couldn't resist! :)

Cooking!

Cooking is sooo much harder here. THis is how you "puree" vegetables when you don't have a blender or food processor (or power). Some people have those things, but most people don't. This is my friend Gita. She's mashing up some onions. It's a marble slab that's not polished and they use a big rounded rock and just roll/mash! It's cool!!

Protesting

There's some political stuff going on in our city (and now the country) right now. People are peacefully fighting against corruption. It's been very interesting to follow. Tonight there was some protesting in our neighborhood. Here are some more protesting pictures. There will probably be more protesting to come... we'll see what happens!

We're BACK! (with Rats!)

We made it back! The flights were so long (especially our 6 hour layover right off the bat) but we made it!! We flew from Tallahassee to Memphis (where the long layover was) and then Memphis to Detroit (see picture below). It was snowing in Detroit! The only snow we saw all the time in the states was at the airpots! haha! We left Detroit about an hour late because they had to De-ice the plane! I'm from the south so I had no idea that they did that... and that it would take so long! haha! We were an hour late coming into Amsterdam (where it was snowing too!) and had to rush to our gate (it was a blur of wooden shoes!)... When we got in the plane we had to wait about 1.5 hours while they de-iced that plane! So we got into the Captial at about 2:00 am!! When we got home we were welcomed to a rat infestation in our bathroom!!! EWWWW!!!! Aparently, if the toilet isn't flushed for a couple months and dries out, then rats can crawl UP the TOILET!!! yes... nice... They wrecked our ba...
