Amsterdam (Country Numero Tres)

I spent about 24 hours in Amsterdam. I got off on the wrong tram stop, luckily someone helped me to find my path to my hostel. Only when I reached my hostel, I found out that my room had been given away because I gave the wrong arrival time. Luckily (again) he called the hostel 'round the bend and they had a room.

And the rest of the time in Amsterdam was pretty perfect. . .  and so beautiful. No one talks about the beauty of Amsterdam but it is.

And one last shot of me looking "tired" as hell as I head into the train station going from Amsterdam to Munich, Germany. It was my first overnight train. 

Belgium Part Deux

I've always been meaning to do this and here is the beginning (or re-beginning) of the end of my photos from my trip to Europe- the 13 country 9 week tour!

And here are some more photos from Belgium, where I spent a total of maybe 24 hours. While I was there I managed to give myself a tour of the city including a couple of churches, a museum and a huge palace, and some beautiful gardens (I could have spent all day there but alas Amsterdam was calling that night), I devoured a Belgian waffle (delicious and cheap 1.80 euro maybe), I went shopping at H&M and Zara of course, and had a very nice Belgian man come up and talk to me as if I understood French. It was a compliment that I looked native or that I looked like I knew what I was doing but alas, I managed a poorly accented "Non parlevousz francias" (and I don't think that I spelled that right- please correct me).

And this monument of the little boy who peed on a bomb and saved Brussels, he's been dressed in numerous outfits throughout the years, that I observed in the museum of Brussels.

 

And me with him, he did save the city after all. . .

Gorgeous Gardens. . .

Guarding the palace

My hostel (I think this is where I lost my cell phone- surprise, surprise!)

And my real belgian waffle

Skydiving!

Good Bye Caitlin and Chad!

At my dear friend Caitlin's going away party last Saturday, I took a few photos that I thought I'd share.

Here's Lauren and Caitlin hanging out at 611 Supreme:

And here's Eli, Cindy, and Lauren:

And although there are no pictures of Chad, we'll miss him, too!

Best Compliment I've had in a while . . .

C: "You're the perfect package."
Me: "What do you mean?"
C: "You've got a pretty face, great body, and an awesome personality."

Prefunk at my spot and War Room Night

This Friday before this past one was awesome. A bunch of old and new friends got together at my crib in Capitol Hill and then we headed out to the War Room, my roomie's spot. Here are the before and during pictures because let's face, no one really remembers the after. (Or is that just me?!)

All the boys plus Anna and Jamie- way to pimp it ladies!

Old + New Friends = lots of fun!!!

   

Dane and Keving lookin' all so studly and serious! C'mon boys, we're supposed to be having fun (wink, wink)!

Med Schoolio! Yes, these are the smart McSmarty pants people I know. Got nothing but my love for my future doctors ;).

I'm big pimping. I've got my lovely ladies with me, Kristi on the left and Jillene on the right.

Gene's turn!! What a pimp!

Throwing the peace sign around Dane, Kevin, Kristi and Abbey!! What, what!

Med School buds- Jamie and Peter (2nd and 1st years- yes, I'm around so much that I know the lingo).

This is not what it looks like!! It's a kiss on the cheek!
