Wow

So it took me way too long to post on here again... so sorry everyone, but I am back.

I have spent the last few weeks just enjoying myself, going to class, and relaxing in the beautiful weather.

I have spent a lot of time in Nijmegen with Lieselot's family as I only have 2 classes a week. I often am in Nijmegen for a day before Lies arrives and a day after she goes back to Maastricht. I've particularly enjoyed hanging out with Gijs and Heleen when Lies has been gone.

Unfortunately I was not able to get into a dutch class. I am, however, stepping up my study and am understanding more and more every day. Now it's just a matter of speaking it.

This week is Koninginnedag which is Queensday, a big celebration in all of Holland. Lieselot, Heleen, and Gijs are all coming to Amsterdam to celebrate.

This past weekend I bought 2 suits for my trip to Geneva. I am very excited to pick them up friday after they are done being altered. Check back at the end of the week to see pictures of them.

Again, sorry for the long wait for a new post.

The Universiteit Bibliotheek (UB for short this is the Library)



This canal boat with bikers is how DHL delivers packages in a large part or Amsterdam.



This is a tram coming up Leidsestraat, a busy shopping.



The first brick building (straight in front of the Mini Cooper) is Paradiso, one of the most popular clubs in Amsterdam. Very touristy, not my favorite.



This is the bike garage where I park my bike.
