Having Weather
-->
Good evening!
Sorry for no post the past couple of days. I’ve been a bit under the weather. Yesterday we took one of my wethers, Henry, to a new home. He is four years old and we’ve had him since he was a baby. It was very sad seeing him go but I know he’s in a great new home! They will take really great care of him. Good Luck at your new home Henry!
Well, on to today’s Netherlands post:
Well, I think they were vans. Maybe they were more like SUVs? Or large cars? Dr. H and Dr. E thought that they had rented two seven-passenger vans. However, when we went to claim the vehicles they each only had 5 seats! The guy at the rental company quickly fixed the problem by pulling up the final two seats from the trunk area. Can someone say RUMBLE SEATS? The inside artwork was more easily appreciated. I really didn’t mind seeing all of the Van Gogh paintings and it was actually pretty cool. Along with Van Gogh there was also some Monet and CГ©zanne. Pretty neat. The one bad thing about the museum was that I was pretty hungry, which started to slow me down. By the end of the museum we were all sitting on a bench outside of the gift shop waiting for Phil and Dr. E. Eventually, Dirk got restless and suggested we all take bikes back to the entrance to the park. We were up for it! Dr. H, Dr. E, and Phil drove the vans back to the entrance while we rode bikes. Wooohooo! How FUN WAS THAT? I am pretty sure it was my favorite highlight of the day. Most of us have not ridden a bike in a long time. However, the group was still racing and picking on each other, and having a fabulous time! We got to choose our bikes from a bike rack near the museum and they were free! The bikes had back-petal breaks and were very basic. My bike was like a little European car. If you have even ridden with a European driver-whipping in and out of traffic-then you know how I felt. If not, think of the Frog and Mr. Toad ride at Disney World. It was smooth but whipped around corners and passed people like they were standing still. The handle bars over-exaggerated the movements so I could whip in and out of the other students on the pathway. My wheels were smaller though. It took me more energy to get were everyone else was. FUN!
