Rotterdam, Holland
POSTCARD: I am unwillingly participating in the rail strike in Holland (or the Netherlands). I am stuck at Rotterdam Central Station and have been for quite a long time. They think the strike might end and trains will begin again at noon, but they don’t know. I wish they did. I had reservations on a train to Muenster. I will see John sometime today, I think. I am hungry right now, after spending the night on a train and then the ferry from Harwich to Hoek van Holland. I slept quite well in the ferry. I started out in a seat, but then went to the back of the room and fell asleep behind a row of seats. The ferry line gave us a bus ride from the station at the port to Rotterdam at least. I should store my luggage maybe, and go for a walk around, but I don’t want to take out $50 worth of Netherland’s money just to eat and store luggage. I have a book that I bought in Ireland by Frank Delaney (obviously a relative of ours). It is really quite good. Writing must run in our family, eh! I am still writing with my Guinness pen. Luckily, there are nice seats in the International Reservations office.
I brought headphones and many tapes along for this trip. It does make it much less lonely, but also keeps me from talking to people out of boredom. Since I have no big plans after I get to John’s made yet, I don’t mind just sitting around in the train station for four hours (so far). I found some jeans someone left in the flat and cut them off for shorts. They are great, and I am comfortable. At noon, some services started from Rotterdam, so I got off at 14:00, but not far. I ended up missing some connections, and arriving at 21:30. I took a cab to John's apartment at Raesfeldstraße 26, Münster .We ate, drank, and I took a shower before bed. Goodnight.

At rehearsal, I came for the beginning to set up, and then Jacob and I went to our house to make the ticket form and print them to pdf. It took two hours, because of a computer crash, and then he dropped my back at the barn to video tape the choreography from tonight.

We were so in love with Canterbury, and our flat, and the prospect of more rest before our trip to Bergen, that we asked our host to book another night in his flat. It was also quite inexpensive to stay there, and we had many places we hadn't walked to yet.
