Leeland

So, we went to the Netherlands this weekend for Flevo Festival. We arrived a day early so we could adjust to the time difference (that plan didn't work by the way). But at least we got to see beautiful Amsterdam! We had never been and we're excited to see the city. I arrived before the other guys and took at train at 7am into the city. About 10 minutes into the ride I asked the guy next to me if this was going to Amsterdam central. He gave me a weird look and said I better get off quick because this train was going to Berlin. haha. Needless to say, I got off and found the right train!

I went to the Van Gogh museum!

Had to sneak some pictures! Those museum people are pretty intense.

Walked around the city for a while!

Played at Flevo Festival and started the day by playing an acoustic set in the middle of all the campers. Woke them up at 10am! haha

I'll post a video blog form our time there tomorow. The show that night was amazing! 

It was our first trip to the Netherlands and they didn't disappoint. EO youth day was pretty epic as you can see here...

35,000 kids packed in an arena! Crazy.

The show was amazing. We were a little nervous because it was being broadcast live on Dutch TV!

We went for a bike ride in Arnhem...

Stopped by the WW2 museum...

Rode over the bridge that the British tried to defend from the Germans...

Leeland showed his crazy bike skills...

After an interview they gave us raw herring, a Dutch delicacy. As you can see we didn't finish it! Bleck...

Oh and we found the Shire while we were on our bike ride. Frodo was a jerk.

We love you Holland! Good look in the World Cup. Arjen Roben is Lee's favorite soccer player by the way. See you in August!

After and AMAZING show in Arhus, Denmark last night, we had a nice day off in Copenhagen today. Went to the 17th century Rosenborg Castle and saw the crown jewels and then basically walked around in the rain and took in the sights. The weather was a bummer, but we had a good time hanging out with each other and trying to figure out the underground in Danish. And apparently the famous mermaid statue lady is in China right now, so... thanks China! Oh, and Leeland lost his wallet. : (

Now for a bit of sleep and a flight to London tomorrow. peace!

I've got to hurry because my computer is running out of battery and we have a plane to catch. We had a 9 hour lay over in London today en route to Africa. Instead of sitting in the terminal all day we decided to explore a little bit.

Here are some pix...



Got on the Heathrow express into london...


We stopped by St. Paul's Cathedral. Probably my favorite place in London. It's been there for 300 years and it's the most amazing thing you've ever seen inside. Unfortunately you can't take pictures in there. :-(


St. Paul's


We had to go see Big Ben. Classic.


Love you guys! Talk to you in Africa. Please be praying for us; we're kind of tired.


Thanks!
