Assorted pictures

So this is just a random collection of pictures that didn't go in any other post. They are MOSTLY chronological. Ahaha.

Everyone at AFS camp, like three weeks after we arrived in the country.
The Disgusting Tangerine competition at AFS camp. Story: we were eating lunch and Natalie got a tangerine. Except it tasted really, really odd. So what can you do with such a tangerine? Why, make it taste as disgusting as possible, of course! Everyone got a slice or two of tangerine and tried to make the most disgusting one possible using appelstroop (NASTY, NEVER EAT), fruity hagelslag (also nasty, it's these weird multicolored sprinkles that you're supposed to put on bread), bell pepper, Nutella, peanut butter, margarine, salt, pepper, cheese, and pretty much anything else we could find. I believe for the this picture, I was enjoying a succulent Nutella/bell pepper/appelstroop/salt combination. Oh my god, revolting.
BOSLOOP BOSLOOP! Julia looks dead, but I, as you can see, was still super-pumped après-bosloop. The bosloop is where you run 3km through the woods and get graded based on your time. Not unlike cross-country, except it's completely flat and the course is much shorter. Raha.
HAMSTER WEEK at Albert Heijn. It's ridiculous. They deck out the entire store in orange and pictures of hamsters, and there are special HAMSTER DEALS where you're supposed to buy lots of things and "hamster them away"...or something like that?
Julia and I in the back of the Hotel New York in Rotterdam. Apparently it's where most emigrants to the US stayed the night before they left.

Rotterdam.
The front of the Hotel New York.
This building has a giraffe on it! (Rotterdam)

The bridge is supposed to look like a swan. I don't see it, but okay. (Rotterdam)

Another visit to Nijmegen. Inside that rad cathedral this time.

Outside the cathedral. Hey, medieval 'n' stuff.
Ahahaha. This bird picked a very nice perch. (Den Haag)
Binnenhof in Den Haag. This is the seat of the Dutch government. Personally, I think this is cooler than the White House/Capitol Hill.
Scheveningen. The EASTERN coast of the Atlantic Ocean, whoaaaaa.

Canal in Amsterdam.

The Anne Frank House. (Amsterdam)
A really big palace-thing in Amsterdam. Carol told me what it was, but I forgot. Sorry.

Carol, me, and Natalie. Doing the Fortress. This was pioneered in Berlin to keep out the cold as best we could, but in this picture it's being applied for the same purpose in Amsterdam. If anyone ever tells you it's warm in Europe, DO NOT LISTEN. They don't have snow, but it certainly is not warm.
