Hello! I am on a train, waiting for it to leave to Amsterdam. Well, it has been great living in Belgium with Auntie Casey. I have had a great time, now it is time to leave.
Yours,
Dorrel

Amsterdam Centraal
Hello! I am currently on a bench in Amsterdam Centraal. We have just gotten off the train and we will eat some food. The train trip was uneventful, but maybe the tram trip won’t be.
Yours truly,
Dorrel

Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Hello! I am at Lisa and Nidi’s apartment, writing. The tram trip was a bit crowded, but that’s fine. We are near a park, and it looks great! I know because I took a walk there with my family, Lisa, Nidi, and Elliot. The cat is responding to the laser pointer, and that’s great!
Yours,
Dorrel
“Nidi” is a nickname Dory invented on the spot last year when he couldn’t remember Neil’s actual name. We had a lovely dinner which included Elliot, another friend from our Utrecht University days. (photo: Stephanie)
