The Netherlands include Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg. We have been from Belgium to Holland and back to Belgium. The event in Ternauzen, Holland was fun. It was their "water day" and lots of Dow people were there, a number participating in the run. The 5K fun run was won in about 18 minutes. It was on cobblestone. The town was festive with lots of Belgium beer gardens. Laura, Jason and I were put on stage for an introduction. It was tough to communicate in Dutch so we put lots of stickers on people and pointed to the website. Tomorrow the runners will come through with Rudy from the Netherlands doing the exchange.

We, the Green team, start again at 3am. We are relaxing and getting some much needed sleep. I'm passing on a day trip into Antwerp. Don't want to be coaxed into buying any diamonds as this is the diamond capital of the world, where you go "blinging." Weather is still soupy and gray. We need sun!!!!!
