Sensation White

Hi Everyone!!!

After a weekend apart from the delegations and with host families, both the Netherlands and US delegations met up in Utrecht! The previous night, the girls had all camped at Carmen's house with Jordana and I, while the boys slept at Max's house with Hans. We had delegation time, and did some activities in the park in Utrecht, then toured the city with Hans as our tour guide (he grew up there!). We explored the city church, the monk's garden, and went to the University Museum where we learned about Uganda and other areas of conflict. As part of the interactive exhibit, the delegates were asked "What is Peace?" They wrote their answers and put them on the windows of the exhibit. 

 

We ate lunch at FEBO where the food comes out of the wall! You just have to put a coin in to get your Dutch entrée!

 

That night, we were invited to Carmen's "sensation white" party through her school. Everyone had to wear white and the kids danced until 11:30! At first, a lot of the US delegates were hesitant due to the loud music and crowds, but they stuck through it and ended up having a great time! And really enjoyed the dancing :)

 

Today, we are having a pool party at Carmen's house, then bike riding to Sieuwe's house, where mini-camp will be held for the next three days! Updates to come, thank you all again for this opportunity!
