(S)Choolbus

Everyone knows the american schoolbus. These are the ones which pick up thousands of kids everywhere from and to school.
One can also supercharge one of these suckers and hit the dragstrip with it. No excuse for coming late to school anymore, i think Link

Intro

I've been trying to think on how to start all this, if i have to introduce myself or not.

Ok, perhaps some small details then

My name is Rudy, I'm a 28 year old Portuguese guy living in Hoofddorp, the Netherlands ( a suburb of Amsterdam).
Im married to Paula and have a beautful daughter of 5 called Sophia.

You might be wondering what the hell are you doing in Holland, land of bikes, drugs, red-light districts etc.,etc.
Well I was born here. Both my parents left Funchal, Madeira ( part of Portugal ) to live in this country where our idea of summer is a measly 25 degrees celsius.

The picture is our daughter and me on one of the few good summerdays that we had, it is the Vondelpark in Amsterdam

Suggestions and / or queries about this blog or me are always welcome
