The Dom tower and Kerk





This last saturday was my first "excursion" and it was spent in Utrecht. The main attraction is the Dom tower. It is quite a sight. The Kerk (church) used to be attached but the middle section was destroyed.

Focus





I
've chosen to look at what we focus on to start of this new experience. I've found that being in a new culture can seem overwhelming, in both good and bad ways. I noticed that some of us have chosen to focus on the good, and others have chosen to focus on the bad or annoying things about the Dutch culture. It may be food or small towels or whatever but some have definitely focused on those things. I am happy to say that my focus has been on my new family, my surroundings, and all things that I love about Zwolle. These were just some thoughts that ran through my head as I was taking these pictures.
