Today Jochem and I met up with my parents at the annual holiday fair. I have been to this fair five times in total, and three years in a row, and I always love it. But make no mistake: this event must be the epitomy of suburban dullness - hordes of people walking around countless halls where pushy salesmen try to sell their overpriced, organized (ugh) vacations. We have never booked anything like it and probably never will since we're the "let's buy a Lonely Planet and see for ourselves" kind of travelers. So that's what we did. We bought four big, fat Lonely Planets to start our anticipatory fun in more detail. We are leaving in less than nine short months, after all (gulp).
Afterwards my parents went back to Almelo and we headed to our local supermarket where we purchased the means to make our own hamburgers and fries. It was messy as per usual, but great food for a Sunday night. We even got a can of rootbeer to make it a truly American experience. Back to work tomorrow!
