Amsterdam What a start to the contiki tour. Christmas Day, I am just lonely and homesick. Across the globe for Christmas when all I wanted at this moment was to be with family. Well that is what I plan so I must live with it. Austin and I jumped on the bus in the pre dawn hours only to stay in the bus for about nine hours.

Liberty Seguros is the Spanish subsidiary of Liberty Mutual, who I interned with during the summers. Thanks to my boss, Jeff Romo, I was able to contact them and set up a time that they can show me the Spanish operations.
