This morning was kind of rough. Jet lag hit pretty hard and I slept in a bit too late. But it's all good. I got dressed and did my make up(typical girl things as they say). Then I went to have my "typical dutch breakfast. After breakfast we went by bike to Noa's school. Once school started we had a 2 hour Greek lesson. It was pretty interesting. I remember learning about it way back in Freshman year, like that's a long time ago. Then we had a normal school break but you know it's always longer than the ones at El Cap. After break we had an art lesson where we had to draw portraits of each other. I had to draw Jacob and it actually came out okay! Then we had Q&A sessions with different class levels. All the students I talked to were super nice and hilarious. I even talked to 12 year old kids who were SOOO sweet!! After the Q&A we got to go home early because of Noa's schedule. After school she took me to the supermarket that they usually go to, it's nothing like back home. I saw lays chips though! something an American would be amazed by as she said. After the supermarket we went home and got ready for our night in Rotterdam. An American day is so much more boring than a Dutch day, they do so many more things than us in a day it's crazy. Once we arrived in Rotterdam Noa and her mom took me to the Markthal (Market Hall). It was unlike anything I've ever seen before. It was a huge building filled with different food carts and on the sides of the hall were apartments. It was great! I had a version of frozen yogurt and kind of tasted like the tart froyo! After dessert we had Turkish pizza, dessert before dinner (my favorite). It was the best thing I've ever tasted compared to stroopwafels. It had a great sauce on a tortilla like bread, then they heat cheese on it, put a salad type of topping on it and a garlic and spicy sauce. After we ate we walked around the shops which I could tell were a lot nicer and cleaner than the stores back home. We then headed for the movies. After the movies which the theater was huge we went to go see her dad play korfbal. It was pretty cool but I didn't really understand it. Her dad was pretty good as I could tell. We stayed there until 9:30pm. We then headed home to finish up some homework and then we are heading to sleep. This is one of the best experiences I have ever had. Thanks for reading my day in the Netherlands blog!:)
