Hi Lauren,
Glad to hear you had a great time in Amsterdam. Dad left Victoria yesterday (Sunday) at 0630h. So I didn't get chance to wish him a Happy Father's Day. He is supposed to arrive home tonight around 2300h. He'll be here until Wednesday pm. I hope the classes are going well. Where are you going this weekend?

Love Mum

Classes are indeed going well. ;) They're just not terribly interesting to talk about.

As for where we are going? Well, today we're off to Douai to see the mines, and on Thursday we're going to Ypres, I believe, and this weekend... I'm not entirely sure! A couple of us were thinking a daytrip to Brugges, and a few others were talking about Paris... I shall have to decide soon.
