Tomorrow I excursion away in order to do a small anthropology project on another Dutch city (that's not Amsterdam). I want to go to Utrecht (a medieval city; formerly the capital of the Netherlands; now it's de Haag, as they say) but my little group of CIEE students might not have time, so we might go to Haarlem (a cultural happening little city 15 min. outside Amsterdam). Both will be exciting!
GOT MY BIKE TODAY. Biked home through the pourrrrrring rain just now with some friends. Started flooding practically when we were at dinner. And by flooding, I mean just raining really hard. It's slamming on my windows right now. Our RAs say it's hurricane season here. The wind was so driving and so horizontal that at times, we'd be biking down *totally flat* stretches of land (I mean, 0 degree incline...which is most land here) and be pedalling as if we were mountain-biking. Not only were we biking into this ridiculous obstacle of wind, but all the rain was going directly (and forcefully) into our eyes. It was AWESOME. Although slightly dangerous, especially because I'm such a new biker. But. Despite the fact that I couldn't see, I made it home. It was SO much fun.
My crotch is KILLING me.
Also, the Goddess rains on us. All the time. :) <3
