This past Tuesday I had my first trip to EHQ, Nike's European Head Quarters, I just returned late this afternoon. I stayed in the south part of Amsterdam. As I commuted back and forth to the office from the Amsterdam Zuid station I felt like I was a local. Simply put - I loved it; in fact I could see us living there. It's interesting how I can feel such a connection to places (like Buenos Aires - I want to live there too). Amsterdam South, is such a great neighborhood; with organic fruit and veggie sore, with an awesome bakery and excellent coffee shops and bistro's.
Who know's, maybe after living in the UK I can get a job at Nike EHQ and we could move to Amsterdam. I'm beginning to understand Andre's comment on the challenging transition back to Portland.

Liz - I finally sat down and read your entire blog - wow what an interesting and emotional experience you are having - you have more guts than me!!!! The purple chair sounds just like you. I'm starting to save money to come out and see you - hopefully early next year - like possibly March - all the little villages sound awesome and the coffee shops - by then you should be able to take me to all of the great places. How is your job going - hopefully good. Hope you are having a good weekend - talk to you later and I love reading about all of your experiences!!!
Gina-
So can't wait for you to come out and visit!!
I don't think I have more guts than you at all. Rather when you have to deal with things yourself as there is no one else to help you (like your husband, neighbors, friends, etc) it's amazing to see what you're capable of. I've suprised myelf more than a few times.
