... a characterisitically natural landscape park. The park cost£10million euro to maintain and remains an important recreation resource.<br><br>On leaving the Park we returned to the bus, which took us to Amsterdam Sud, where we caught the first a train to Leiden, and then a second train to Den Haag.

... with the locals, wandered some more, danced through a few more bars whose parties were out on the streets. Ate oliebollin #4.<br><br>About 5pm we returned to the LLC to take naps and rest up for the night and then went back out about 9:30 and headed over to the carnival, where several people rode the craziest looking carnival ride I&#8217;ve seen in a while. Nicole lost her glasses, Sahara lost her room key, and poor Rebecca lost her dinner ...

... Relations and International Law. I did a quick calculation this morning and in the last 7 days I have read about 200 pages for IR and 500 pages for IL! My brain in a little bit fried.
