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 bathroom! I didn't post the most disgusting pictures, but just trust me... these are gross enough :) See all those brown lines everywhere... these are tail marks.... ick!
Now, to me, this was the most disturbing... Inside one of our cabinets, they had made some sort of nest... See all of these toilet paper rolls?? Well, they look like whole tubes and one looks like it's about a whole roll... well, when Adam was cleaning this up, he picked it up with a dust pan and it all disintegrated!!!!!!!!!!! I know that sounds hard to believe, but all that you see was just a facade - it was like a shell and they had built up underneath... soooo weird! Adam just dumped it into the toilet and flushed it - it was
that disintegrated!
So yeah, we're back :) We're cleaning up and readjusting :) It's going good :) Here's a pic (below) of what we saw going to the market yesterday :) Fun!

I love the camel pic, too. What a nice welcome back sight, huh? A good reminder of, "Man this place is cool!" :)
I thought you were gonna have some people staying at your house when you were gone? Guess not, yea, thats not fun, Spike our neighbor had a big rat poblem about 8 mos ago, they ate all the hoses on the dish washer and water was everywhere, we put traps out and one was so big he carried the trap away, It took us about 3 months to finally get rid of them.See those dirty rats can be everywhere:)lovegrams
happy cleaning!
