I think it has rained every day I've been here except for three. That is no exaggeration! I've gotten so used to always having an umbrella on me, and I don't like it! On Friday I went to Amsterdam. When the plane was about to touch down, the speaker man informed us of the weather: no rain! I escaped!
Waking up Saturday morning broke my heart! (Well, it would have had I not been in Amsterdam!) It was raining! Blah! But, thanks to my newfound European-ness, I had packed my trusty umbrella. It basically rained all day. And we stood in in all day.
But, it's hard to really complain when you can take off and be in Amsterdam in about an hour. (minus airport waiting)
AMS was beautiful. You always hear about the crazy party side of it, and yes, that was there and is awesome, but there is another side of Amsterdam that we visited Sunday afternoon. All in all, it was a great weekend with Kayla and Sarah. There were lots and lots of laughs, walks, parades, and fun times. We were actually there for the Pride parade, which was too fun for words, so I will include some pictures.
Amsterdam was a nice contrast to Borås, which tends to be on the "quieter" side. 10 am and it was so loud outside our window that I could not have slept if I had wanted to! My one beef with Amsterdam (or should I say "tofu") is the mayo on fries. I know, it's a dutch thing, but mayo is basically my kryptonite. Bleugh. I obviously still ate fries if they had mayo on them. Fries!
Oh yeah, this was meant to be a post about the rain. It sucks! I always get wet, and so do my books! Boo!
I just finished hours of curriculum mapping, so this is how I celebrate! If I had friends, I'd say we'd go out to a bar, but who are we kidding, I would be eating some sort of celebratory candy bar.
MMmmm.
We're gonig to Stockholm on Friday, so that may provide me with something other than the weather to type about. We leave at 4:45 am. I still don't know if I'll even bother sleeping. Oh, and we have to "dress smart." I absolutely despise that term, and apparently everyone around me loves it!
all right, voici des photos de ma vie!
Hejdo
I heart Pride!
(the out of place one is my school!)
