One of the oddities of the area I grew up in is the small town of Pella, Iowa. Founded by a group of about 800 Dutch colonists seeking religious freedom and economic opportunity in the mid 1800's, it still very actively promotes its heritage today.
Wilbert and I drove over for the day and enjoyed this little bit of Holland in the USA during our honeymoon trip. It was fun and a bit strange all at the same time! :-)

Who is Christo?
- Christo
- Spiritual, silly, multi-cultural mountain of a man. Originally American but now Dutch, I speak fluent English, Spanish and Dutch as well as a fair amoount of Japanese, French and Basque. Have a job I (finally) love, a wonderful husband who I love even more, and a fantasy life of international travel (at least for a boy from the heart of agricultural America!).
