Here are a few reasons I am growing to love the people I am traveling with:
- Poppy's ability to take any situation and make it funny.
- Stefanie's groundedness and intentional care for others.
- Molly's steadfast resolve to have alone time and long bike rides.
- Jonathan's joy in whatever we are doing.
- Maren's great ability to happily share a bathroom one must walk into before one gets into our room. This is tricky at best.
- Scott's go-with-the-flow-ness and ability to jump groups and interact with everyone.
- Bryan's work ethic and absolute goodness. Colville, Washington, ladies and gentlemen. Who knew?
But mostly what I love is because of conversations like this, which occurred at approximately 8:45 in the morning during breakfast:
Discussion about songs easily stuck in one's head.
Greta: You could wake up with the Indiana Jones song stuck in your head.
Scott: You mean this one? Duh du du duh, du du du du..... (Poppy, Myria, Jonathan, Molly, and several others join in. Clare looks askance, as do I. It is a bit too early to be singing in our world.)
Also, we hear a lot of 80s and 90s American pop music here. Apparently it's well-liked by the Dutch. And I can guarantee that when we hear it, approximately 4 or 5 of us will start singing loudly. I would normally be embarrassed by this, but for some reason I don't care here. Probably because I want to be in Glee in real life.
In any case, I like these people. A lot.
