Hello, hello! Ok, I realize it's been insanely long since I last posted. In my defense though, I spent the last week in Nice and London! I had an amazing time, and can't wait to tell you all more about it later!
So, for those of you who weren't already aware, I head back to the U.S. in less than a week! Yup, May 2nd is when I head back. I can't believe it's already been 3 months. I'm sad to leave all my friends here in Europe, but am so so so excited to be reunited with all my family and friends in the U.S! And speaking of heading home... I'll be spending the summer in Blacksburg! I was offered and accepted a communications internship in Roanoke, which I'm really excited about. Plus, after a semester away, I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone and catching up! I should be back around the 8th of May :). Less than 2 weeks!
However, all this talk of going home has made me realize just how far behind I am on posting about my trips here in Europe! I am determined to be caught up on my blogging before I head back, although I realize that's pretty unlikely... So, here's my first attempt at getting back on track with these blog posts!
At the beginning of the month I went to Amsterdam for the weekend with my friend from work again. Definitely an interesting city. I feel like it sort of has an identity crisis. On the one hand, you have this really lovely and charming city, full of beautiful canals, flowers, and markets. On the other hand, you have the city that's (in)famous for it's red light district and coffee shops - which, fyi, don't sell coffee. Memorable moments included:
- taking a cruise along the canal
- passing a drunk man who'd fallen into the canal
- checking out the Anne Frank House (amazing, btw)
- checking out the red light district, including the girls in the window (and being told girls were welcome to the "live porn show" too)
- seeing the flower market
- seeing a drunk guy with his friends walking around without pants. Or boxers.
Like I said, definitely an interesting city. Anyone else have any memorable moments from Amsterdam?? Or any other city?
