Today we woke up and it was another beautiful day. Irina and I did a little shopping and a little sightseeing. Here are some pics!

Sidenote: We definitely need bikes. You will read in every travel guide about the bikes here, but until you see them or are almost hit by one you do not understand just how important bikes are to the Dutch an...

Well, I'm finally here. After 8 months of anticipation and worrying, and one VERY long day of traveling, I arrived in Leiden just a little after 8 pm. This has been a crazy day. My British Air flight from Denver to London left on time at 8:15 Tuesday night. The smoothest part of the whole flight was the take-off from Denver (weird, right?) The r...

Yes, I know I have been a failure at updating my blog this term!! Two straight weeks of non-stop, depressing travel in Palestine really wore me out. Plus, I got back a week after the term began ... somehow I already had a lot of work to do!

Things have been really boring around here this summer, primarily because I have had to research an...

As many of you know this is my first time in Europe, but not my first time away from home. First off I must say it has been much easier to adjust to a Dutch lifestyle rather than a Thai lifestyle. The English language is very popular and many Dutch people take pride in being able to speak English so it has been easy to get by, plus some words or...

Day -5 Man, booking flights around Christmas is pricey. £935 LHR-PER-SIN-LHR... If only there was such a thing as a cheap flight from South America to Oz...

Heya guys! Counting the last days until I leave...Monday morning at 10.25. Very long flight ahead:( See ya!

Tonight is my last night in Leiden. It has been really fun to spend over a week in a university town in The Netherlands. I met a lot of great people and learned about a new town that's off of the normal tourist path. Tonight: drinks with friends: Mark, Thomas, and Tim.

Andrea's parents arrived in Holland on Tuesday and we have been busy all week showing them around. Here is a quick run-down of what we did... Tuesday, Andrea's parents and Nate headed to The Hague to visit Andrea and the twins. They were looking cuter than ever and were in a very good mood. They were a little shy at first, but warmed up quickly ...

Today we spent our afternoon with our favorite American friends Alicia and Dylan (Ted is currently on a business trip in Hong Kong- we missed you Ted!). We went to church in the morning and then travelled to an ice sculpture exhibit that is currently in Leiden. We had heard from several locals that the exhibit is "Amazing!" and "Definitely worth...

Tonight we had Ted and his son Dylan over to watch the Hawkeyes play against Northwestern. What a dissapointing loss! We had stopped paying attention to the game completely by the end because we had decided that the game was over and they had won- boy were we wrong! We heard an announcer yelling an somehow Iowa had let Northwestern beat them in ...
