		<title>Clarification</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Meg wanted me to make it clear that we&#8217;re not spending all our vacation at the Rodeway mentioned in the previous post. So here&#8217;s the view from the Oceanside, Ore., condo she rented for a couple of nights &#8212; a huge improvement, right? The beach is fabulous, and we are planning a Tillamook cheese curd [...]]]></description>

		<title>What you pay for</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Meg took a couple of days off immediately following Labor Day, so we decided to head for the Oregon coast for some r&#038;r (not that an unemployed library school grad needs much more than a good book for that). Anyway, we decided to head out after church and stay in Portland for one night to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Run-in with a raccoon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Usually I fly home to visit my family during the holidays, but because I&#8217;m going to be spending a few months with my parents, I decided to drive down so I could take more stuff and have my own car while I&#8217;m there. I left Seattle at about 1 p.m. Wednesday afternoon, and things went [...]]]></description>

		<title>Storytelling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the assignments for my storytelling class was to record two times that I told stories to a group. A few of my recordings didn&#8217;t turn out very well because of audio issues, so I got the chance to tell even more stories to members of my family. It was fun! Here are two [...]]]></description>

		<title>Biking way more than necessary</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This weekend was entirely free &#8212; no lectures, no transferring to different hotels, no suggested day trips, etc. &#8212; so I spent a couple of days exploring the area surrounding Rotterdam. Since I traveled mostly by train yesterday, today was a day for biking. The late summer weather was lovely, so it was a perfect [...]]]></description>

		<title>Utrecht</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Trent left this weekend free for self-directed exploration, so a lot of people from the group here decided to go to Brugge, Belgium. A few of us stayed in Rotterdam to explore the surrounding area, though, and I am one of them. Today was kind of rainy, so I ditched my bike in favor of [...]]]></description>

		<title>National Library of the Netherlands</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After lecture today we took the Metro to The Hague to tour the Koninklijke Bibliotheek, the National Library of the Netherlands. It has more than 3.5 million items in its collection and adds more every day because it is required to keep a copy of every print item published in the Netherlands. It was very [...]]]></description>

		<title>Day of rest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today was a much-needed day of rest. I went to church this morning and got a spiritual recharge &#8212; something I&#8217;ve been overlooking since coming to Europe three weeks ago. The members of the congregation were very friendly and welcoming, and a couple of them even translated the services for me. The only weird thing [...]]]></description>
