The Netherlands

Well this week was vacation time! We got a week off. My host family had a trip planned to go to London, so I went to the Netherlands and stayed with some very nice people.



Lots of ducks by the canals

Lots of  bicycles and bike paths


Arte Duo-Gerrit took me to see a musical performance

The Sea

A Castle






Sorry for the fingers. I borrowed this camera from someone.

Alphen aan den rijn

Vogelpark Avifauna-Hotel and birds park

Huge leaves

All the photos taken are from my brand new awesome camera!!




This is a photo of birds attacking me! It is foggy b/c we were in a hot building full of parrots. I'm feeding a parrot and it is sitting on my arm.

Another street organ


I don't know, but really reminds me of the movie Euro Trip...I am not offending anyone.
So the people I stayed with were really nice and took me to all these wonderful places.
I got to see were a famous Dutch painter lived, where Albert Einstein taught and stayed in Leiden, where the Prigrims planned their voyage, and the house Anne Frank lived in. A very great experience!
