Today was mainly a travel day. It was interesting to see the countryside and all of the stops in between. Then we had a food tour of Rotterdam. This is a very interesting city, nothing like the 2 we've seen already. I didn't know that English is the main spoken language. It was cool to [...]

I've heard of a few companies that do this, but not seen it in person. The system of carrying the vehicle around to the worker, changing heights, angles, and the parts staying with [...]
Austyn LeMaster 1st day, 5-11
Today we arrived after issues with flights coming over. Today was a light day, just taking a tour and eating at Carl's. Having a light first day like this allows for more time to see the city and realize that you are in a different country. Seeing the museums and the buildings on the tour [...]
