Schiedam

It seems I never published this post, but here are some pictures of Schiedam, a small town right outside Rotterdam. It's small, cute, quaint and full of windmills. I had the chance to go to the very top of one of them. It was a challenge, since I'm terrified of heights, but it was definitely worth it. We also had a delicious dinner at this fancy French restaurant called Stadhuys B.V., which I recommend you go visit with an adventurous mind.

Schiedam is also home of the tallest windmill in the world, the Noordmolen, which is now a Dutch restaurant (first picture). We went there for dinner once but it was closed, so we missed the food. But on one of my lonely sight-seeing I got to go inside and it still has its windmill escence.

And... Schiedam is the #1 world gin producer.

Back in America

Been absent for a few days but I'm excused because I had my deadline and then Keegan, Justin, Camille and my mom flew over to the NL to spend my last days there with me and travel. They arrived on the 29th of October, and from that day through the 8th of November, we travelled non-stop:

Oct 29th - Amsterdam

Oct 30th - Rotterdam

Oct 31st - Leiden, Delft, Scheidam

Nov 1st - Rotterdam

Nov 2nd - Brugges

Nov 3rd - Brussels

Nov 4th - Antwerp

Nov 5th - Gouda, Utrecht

Nov 6th - Den Haag

Nov 7th - Amsterdam

Nov 8th - flight back to Phoenix, changed planes in Philadelphia

Phew! We're still exhausted of all the walking and the jet lag! And all the weight I had lost during those 2 months I was by myself in R'dam, I might have gained them back when my family arrived... Oh, well, I'll post some photos in a bit.
