Hey everyone!
Today was our first day of going to school at Stedelijke Dalton Lyceum. My partner and I took the bus this morning from 's-Gravendeel and got to school around 8:15. First we got a tour of the campus from our partners and then met the principle of the school. The school was pretty confusing compared to our campuses in Merced. Then we had our Dutch lesson where learned how to say "Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening," how to say what we would like, and how to say "thank you" and "good bye." Although I may not remember these by heart, I'll have them handy with me for now on. After Dutch, I had math class with my partner, where I basically just sat quietly because everything was in Dutch. We had a free period where I was able to some homework and talk with some other students. Then business and marketing class and the lunch period.
After school, we traveled to Old City Center in Dordrecht to see the many old building they have. We were able to go inside the church and see some beautiful stain glass windows and other architectural details. It's very cool to see the old buildings because there aren't really anything like them in the US.
Once back home we went out to dinner for some different fried foods. We got french fries and fried sausages and meatballs. It was interesting but tasted pretty good. When we were done we cycled to Jumbo, the local supermarket and bought some Dutch foods I've been told I need to try. Now we are back at home watching tv to end our day. I think all in all it was an exciting and fun day.
