I will upload pictures as soon as I have a chance so those that are interested can take a lookie to see what shenigans I am getting myself into, but until then, I'll just blog blog blog.
Right now, I am enjoying a beer in a small little village (population: freakin' small) in the Netherlands called Vierlingsbeek. It's pretty convenient having a boyfriend who is from the Netherlands because I am getting the true experience of it. Netherlands is absolutely gorgeous and there is so much more to this country than "coffeeshops"and the red light district. I can't believe how amazing this place is. I have fallen in love with a city called Nijmegen, the oldest city in the Netherlands. This place is taking my breath away (actually, quite literally too since there is so much more nature here, my allergies are ridiculous).
I wish that I could say the same for London. Perhaps it was the jetlag or the fact that our hotel was the crappiest hotel ever, but I did not feel the love for London. The only indication that I was even out of the country was the fact that the cars drove on the opposite side. There was nothing about it that really made me feel that I was out of America. There are some beautiful aspects of London (like their public transportation system but even then, during rush hour, it feels like NY especially when the drunk guy starts to feel up on you) but I really didn't care for it. Perhaps when I come back and have more time, I can visit the outskirts of London and then will have more appreciation for it but until then, I would rather not plan on visiting it again for awhile.
Not sure where our next adventure will be at. One great thing about having all the countries close by is that everything is accessible either by train, plane or automobile. Right now, we need to flip a coin for either renting a car and doing a road trip through Germany or hoping on a plane and relaxing on the islands off Portugal. I am leaning towards a road trip cause that sounds like it could be a lot more adventurous.
Anyway, there haven't been really any adventures for me to tell yet...I'm still in the middle of doing the "meet the family and friends"which is a little intense considering I do not know the language but I'm managing. I have yet to make an ass out of myself yet so that is good.
Beer is empty so I think that it's time for another.
