Halfway There

I made it to Amsterdam!! Obviously.
My flight was great! I sat next to a funny businessman from Grand Rapids-ish area, and we talked for quite a while. For dinner (wow, listen to this!)...our appetizer was salmon confit canape with citrus marmalade, beef tenderloin crostini with blue cheese, ginger-hoisen shrimp skewer and mixed nuts. The main dish was a salad of mixed greens with candied walnuts, piquillo peppers, and herbed goat cheese medallion, and beef short rib with garlic-hoisen sauce, wasabi mashed potatoes, and vegetables. I stole the menu; I didn't memorize all those fancy-schmancy things. It's funny how completely different buisness class and coach are. And I was so out of place with all the businessmen up there. I didn't know how to work anything. Luckily, I made "friends" with that man next to me, because he helped me with all of it.
I watched a little bit of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" but decided my time would be better spent sleeping. I slept all the way until the announcement to put your seats in the upright position for landing was made!!
And here I am in the business class lounge in Schipol airport. Sorry the picture is kind of lousy, but it's a.) hard to take a good picture after traveling and b.) embarassing taking a picture of yourself holding a plate of mediocre free food when everyone around you is wealthy buisnessmen.
...the fruit tasted like a sweaty old lady. But the roll and donut were good. Still looking for your lemon tea, Mom!

That's all for now. My blogs will get a bit more interesting once I'm in Uganda, don't worry. I know this one was dullsville.
