My Last Weekend In Europe

Bonjour!

This is sadly my last weekend in Europe, but it will be a very exciting one because I am traveling to Amsterdam, in the Netherlands! It will be my first time traveling to a country in which I don't speak a word of the language, so it should be especially interesting. Dutch is the primary language in the Netherlands, but most of the Dutch speak English fluently. Also, fun fact: Dutch is the closest language to English, linguistically. Both Dutch and English are Germanic languages, which have a lot in common with German and Scandinavian languages such as Swedish and Norwegian. I think that Dutch sounds more like English than it looks like English.

Kaylin and I are going, as well as several of the girls from the Auburn group, so there will be a big group of us girls. We plan to see Anne Frank's House (which is now a museum), Rijksmuseum (a very famous art museum), Van Gogh Museum, The Cannabis College, and perhaps even take a canal boat tour through the city.

I won't have my computer with me, unfortunately, so I won't be posting another blog until Sunday night at the earliest, after I return.

Bon week-end!
