week 3

So I actually did record a video for this week, but it was super lame because I couldn't get my thoughts together about what I even did this week so here it is in pictures!  

We had a lovely group trip to the Hague and Rotterdam and it was beautiful!  The Netherlands has such neat architecture.  The museums were free in the Hague for the past weekend, so we got to go into museums and the Parliament buildings and places we wouldn't have normally gone.  

The beach was amazing and we had dinner at an Italian restaurant where we think our waiter forgot about us but was delicious nonetheless.

After that we went out on the town but called it an early night and slept at our hostel, which was quite nice for the price.

In the morning we went to Rotterdam and strolled around.  It was very city-like with shopping and a ton of McDonalds.  We were refreshed with sangria after a long and tiring two days of walking and finally made it back to the train and back home.

Today I was literally in bed for the entire day doing homework and laundry and things of that nature.

Tomorrow it's back to the old grind for my two days of class and we will see what's in store for the weekend!

Hope you enjoy the pictures.
