Today everyone flew back to North America. The team split up in several directions: Jen flew home to Ohio, Michael went home to Florida, and Karl headed to California for a few days and will fly to Spruce Meadows this weekend where he will show along with Nick and I for the next five weeks. As if we haven't bonded enough already! Yesterday the horses headed to Germany with Claire, and she flew with the plane out of Luxembourg going to Spruce Meadows. After seeing the horses off, we all had a last hurrah in Amsterdam, exploring the city during the day and seeing the floating flower market, Van Gogh Museum, and even a beach volleyball game in the city center. Later, we checked out the Red Light District. I may be scarred for life! We all said sad goodbyes and went our separate ways. Luckily for me, both Nick and Adele were on the same flight today from Amsterdam to Spruce, so I didn't have to face leaving Europe behind alone. We got into Calgary at 3:30 pm, just an hour after we left Amsterdam. The time difference is very confusing! The horses arrive at 9:00 tonight and can't wait to show at Spruce this weekend. The Young Rider Tour was incredible and I will really miss the team and our new foreign friends! Go Team USA :)
