On Wednesday we arrived in the town of my Oma's birth, Nijmegen. Nijmegen is the oldest city in The Netherlands, celebrating it's 2000th year in 2005 and has been mentioned in history as a Roman camp as early as 1 BCE.

Gotta head off to bed soon. I must get my rest as tommorow I begin my training for Oktoberfest.
