Arnhem.
The last two are a part featuring colections. Pictuers are of
a) religious figurines
b) money boxes (aka piggy banks)
there were also glasses(the girl has perfect eye sight danm her), pin-up girls, pinocio books (and the guy had never even read of the story, he just liked the pictures and didn't want to 'ruin his vision of the it'), Jesus crosses, airplane throw-up bags, and Dutch royalty memerobelia.



















Happy New Year!
Hope everyone has fun and keeps their resolutions.
My resolutions so far: Study Dutch for half an hour every day
Have fun
And why is pound abreviated lb? it just doesn't make sense.

Today I went with Emiliano, Juan, Simone,(other AFSer's) and Anjia(Afs volanteer) to a museum in Arnhem. It was very nice, open air and about the way people lived in the old days. You know, with people wearing old style cloths and mock houses and buissneses etc.

Last week Gaya and I watched Avatar, it was a good movie.

I would also like to add that our hair was frozen.

Snow





































Well it really snowed. The Christmas Ball at school was cancled and we got out of school early today because of it. I didn't have my bike because I was going to go to a friends house to get ready for the dance but since it wasn't happening I just didn't have wheels. I was still going to go over to her house and we could sled and do other fun snow things but I would have to ride in the back of her bike. An uncomfortable place to sit the back of a bike :) But the winds picked up and we were basicly walking to her house because of the ice so I just called Gaya to come pick me up. It was bloody cold.
Anyway, it's beautiful. Maybe i'll make a snowman.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one travler, long I stood
And looked down one as long as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the othe, just as fair.
And having perhapess the better claim.
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equaly lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
Took the one less travled by,
And that has made all the difference.

-Robert Frost
The first frosty day.






A small city we visited. It is on wat used to be part of the ocean but is now a big lake.
