Weekend


Last week was a week filled with sun, and because I have to walk anyway (the tire of my bike is still flat) I took my camera with me each time I needed anything in town. This is the army museum and on the left you can see a tourist boat poppin around the corner; they're everywhere, always...

Here you see 'the Old Church' in Delft, it stand in an angle, because it was build on two different layers of ground/soil/earth. And our flag; beautiful :)


As you can see, my room mate Gerdien got married last Friday and it was a beautiful sunny day. I had the encredibly important job to help her get into her dress and make sure that she would make it down our five stairs safe and, especially, clean. And, how shocking, at the end of the day, I cought (catched?) her flowers... They were thrown só fast, that I wasn't able to dive away fast enough; they hit me on the head!
On Saturday I didn't have to play; the other soccer team cancelled the game, because they didn't had enough players. It gave me the change to give my ankle some time to fix itself. I went to my parents, by train, and took the car and my sister to the forest and dunes. Because of recent rain, it smelled nice everywhere!


The dunes, with the tank wall from World War II and a drop on some fruity thing


Yes, I admit we did some illegal stuff. We were wearing the safety jackets because of the rain, and later just for the fun. Most thrilling here in the Dutch 'wild' parts of our country is the chance of walking into some kind of forest/nature officer, who can give you a ticket for not walking on the path...


I spend a nice and quiet Sunday at my parents place too. I took this picture after I parked my bike, at the central station of Leiden (where my parents live). It's just one out of many, many rows with bikes.
Now I'm gonna take a shower, just came home from soccer, we lost but we played a good game. And then it's time for some studying again.

Bye, Lotte

Parts of my life, my life in parts, in my life parts

Now... wow... I finally got started on the Dutch part of my blog... Wiehoe. I'll try to keep it interesting here, again (?). Take a picture now and then and tell one of many adventures I experience in an average day : )
Pff, I barely no where to start.

I took the cloudy picture, while I was hanging out of my window. You see the tops of three big churches in Delft. A closer look will come soon. On the next you can see the house I'm living in; Perron 0. It's just the top part (with the three square windows, the right one is our kitchen window), where I live with four roommates. On Friday one of them will get married, so then we're back to four again, as usual. I took this picture standing on the train platform.

Yes, I do live in a student house. It's our washing corner and lovely shower.


And our Delft, but soon world-, famous kitchen!


Delft; since 1100 and city rights since 1246


My sister and I went to the ZOO in Rotterdam last week, we've seen a lot of animals, but were so busy having fun that we had to hurry to see them all!

I think I never enjoyed playing soccer as much as I do now. Made these pictures of my team mates on Saturday (I had to stay out of the field most of the time, because I wrecked my ankle with my Monday soccer team) we won the match 17-0!


And here, specially for you, my new shoes! :)

Talk to you soon!
