Utrecht is almost my third home...

I slept in a bit this morning, but had to wake up because of the homework I had left over. The weather is continuing to be beautiful, and I hope it is as nice tomorrow for the game! We traveled to Utrecht in the afternoon and met up with friends of Tineke and Jan, and Kees who was able to take a break from studying for the day. Miss. Saigon was great and everything was paid for by the lottery in which we and the entire audience won the tickets in. It was very nice to no have to worry about paying for food or drink. The show was in Dutch and I was able to understand most of it, with the help of the scenery or physical actions. The show was tainted a little bit by the audience, who were not all knowledgeable of what to do at a show. Such as when to clap (not every time someone stops singing), to please be quite and not talk, cell phones, and finally to to clap to the rhythm of the closing music. But those were minuscule in comparison to the rest of the show.
We had dinner in an Italian restaurant in Utrecht, which was very filling and too salty for the amount of water I had. I am still thirsty! After dinner we said goodbye to Kees before he went back to Groningen.
At Utrecht Central is getting a major overhaul and a new theater is being built with it. Much has changed since Tineke, Jan, and my parents lived in Utrecht.
Tomorrow is lacrosse in which city but Utrecht! We are versing Nijmegen and are seeking to avenge out loss last week!
