Wow, we have been running around like crazy!! So far I have really enjoyed everything :-) The Cologne cathedral is amazing...even the roof tour was really interesting. The Cologne zoo is really a nice zoo, they have by far the best elephant enclosure of any zoo I have ever seen, and probably ever will see! It was so exciting to get the behind the scenes tour, especially when the elephants came up on there own and reached through with their trunks so we cound touch them!!! This was a very special tour because they NEVER let people do this!! :-)
The veterinary students in Utrecht were SO nice. Their school system in very very different from ours and there equine clinic is huge! The students we stayed with were a few years younger than us and they took us to a Vet-Inn party, which lasted quite a bit longer than we are used to and we ended up dragging our hosts away!! It was a lot of fun though, and most of us got experience in riding on the back of a bicycle...remember, ride it 'side saddle' dont straddle!! Luckily I had seen other people ride on the back so I knew this..Their living conditions are much smaller than we are used to, I think most of us slept on air mattresses in our hosts room and that pretty much took up all of the room! It was a great experience though and like I said, they were incredibly nice people!
I have so much more to write about, but there is a line for the computers so I better get going!
