...watch boats go by...
...hang with the locals...
today, though, we decided to be productive, so we hopped on our bikes (people take biking very seriously in this town--they even get their own traffic lights!)...
...and headed to the leiden university library to do some research for art history.
on our way back, we browsed saturday market. i wanted to buy a couple of oranges, but apparently they are only sold by the kilo, so now i have a week's worth. there are all kinds of interesting goodies at market besides fruit, however:
sadly, leiden was unable to escape the clutches of americanization:
(there are also two mcdonalds, a burger king and a dominos. i am proud to say, however, that i have not yet seen a starbucks here!)
and it doesn't get dark til after 10 p.m., which is kind of nice. the sunset was amazing tonight.
on a side note, my best friend is currently studying abroad in paris.
i haven't seen this chick since august, so a paris trip is definitely in the works!
seacrest out,
b.
