I'm here!

Welcome to my blog everyone. This first entry is going to be a bit quick and a bit delirious because I am very jet lagged and being timed on the hostel internet meter, but I wanted to write immediately. This afternoon at around two o clock I flew over from Dublin where I had my connection to Schiphol Amsterdam international airport. Everything was green because it was Aer Lingus, the Irish airline. I slept on my tray table and when I woke up there were lots of people staring at me.

I took a taxi to the Vondelpark stay okay hostel. I am sharing a room with five other ladies. The hostel is fine but I can't wait to move into my flat tomorrow morning. I just walked around for a while in the city center. It is crowded but everything looks strangely familiar. I saw the wagamama's and the delft store I'm pretty sure we went to when I was ten. I ate dinner on the side of the canal and I bought a passion fruit for desert because I love those and I saw one. We never have them in the states. Dutch is confusing. This computer is in Dutch so I keep clicking the wrong buttons by accident. There are a lot of other young people at this hostel but not from the US.

I am going to miss home a lot and probably miss you (if you are reading this I assume we care about each other). But, this is a good way to keep updated. I promise more exciting entries later on! Lots of love, Julie
