This weekend, the school's social organization put on a trip to Ameland, an island off the north coast of the Netherlands. About 70 international students went, taking a bus from Leiden and a ferry from the coast. The placed we stayed was set up like a summer camp except that it was attached to a dairy farm. It ended up being a great time as they had lots of cool stuff planned for us to do. This included the Dutch game of Bolengolf, which is just like regular golf except it's played in a cow pasture with mini-soccer balls and a broomstick with a wooden clog on the end of it. After my first massive slice, I felt like I was home again. That being said, my group won, beating second place by 10 strokes, no big deal.
After the golf domination, we went on a bike ride around the coast, about a 15 mile trek, but definitely worth it. The weather was suprisingly perfect and the scenery was pretty awesome. It culminated with watching the sunset from a mudflat, very cool.
Now, back in Leiden, it is of course raining and I'm tired from staying up to watch the race, which fittingly, was called because of rain.
