I have arrived!

Aug 03, 2007 21:44

My flight got into Amsterdam on schedule yesterday at 8 AM. No problems in travel at all! My flatmate, Sascha, met me at the airport and helped me get myself and my massive amounts of luggage to the apartment. I spent most of the day unpacking and settling in my stuff, buying groceries and other necessary items, and napping a little. Then after Sascha got home from work we walked around some shops, as Thursday is the night they stay open later. We also walked by the Dutch parliament building (dead this time of year because everyone is on vacation). Then we had dinner at a nice little cafe in a square amongst many bars, restaurants, etc. before I came home and turned in early.

The apartment I am staying at is very nice. It's big and has lots of natural light, and is located right in the center of town where there's lots of pedestrian areas and nice shopping. I have already scoped out the numerous shoe stores in the area. We also have a glorious balcony off of the living room at the apartment, where I'm sure I'll spend lots of time reading and relaxing.

Not much on the docket for this weekend - tomorrow I'm going to check out the beach area, and maybe hit up a museum...and probably just walk around scoping out the city...
