The Summer of Dreams Part I: Belgium and the Netherlands

Well now that its Thanksgiving, I decided that its probably a good time to start posting pictures from last summer. Maybe when I graduate I will have a little more time to blog. 



Part I

Belgium
I had the best time with my BFF Hanna exploring her new turf in Belgium! (HUGE thank you for letting me come visit!) For those who don't know what Belgium is like, all you need to know is that there are a LOT of castles. There are also lots of cows, chocolate, and waffles. And with a few exceptions, there were hardly ever any tourists.

Bruges was my favorite

Ghent








The Netherlands

We took a day trip up to Amsterdam to go to the Anne Frank house. They didn't let us take any pictures inside but I would definitely recommend it!

 Here are some of the other things we did that day:

We had breakfast at a cute bakery called De Bakkserswinkel



We went to the Van Gogh museum.

We went to the Tulip Museum. Well, the gift shop at least.

We walked along the canals. I loved those fluffy purple flowers.


We also went to the I amsterdam sign. This is like the only picture I could find of the two of us together. Hooray for cell phone cameras!


Next stop: London!
