Hello everyone this is Bartsch, Monahan, Schmidt, and Patterson reporting from Holland. Unfortunately your regular commentators have been sent out in to the field for a special assignment, …aka Holland festival in Utrecht. On our first mission today we headed to a cheese farm run by the infamous Farmer Bart. He successfully recruited one of our own members, Kelly Maiers, as his new Dutch cheese "helper". She looked radiant in her lace bonnet and apron and don't worry we took plenty of incriminating pictures.
Then we were off to the one and only clog factory, where we learned every little detail on how to make little wooden shoes. Needless to say we had to fend off all of the other tourists who were just as anxious to get their picture taken in the big wooden clog. 
After a jam-packed morning of culture and excitement we then boarded the big white bus and continued on our way to Amsterdam to resume our spending spree. Most of the cultured members of the team, …aka not Monahan and Bartsch, ventured to the Van Gogh Museum, the Reicht Museum, and the Anne Frank Hois. Others also took the thirst quenching tour through the Heineken Brewery, and hit up many of the local shops throughout the town.
Tomorrow we are all heading to Klein Zwitserland for a personal training session with their top Dutch coach and we will keep you all posted on how that one goes. Again this is Bartsch, Monahan, Schmidt, and Patterson signing off, see ya Saturday . . . Amy and Carolyn
