whoops! i took a little holiday from blogging the past weeks, together with my trip to europe (how american to say "europe" instead of specifying to which countries i went).... before i went to sweden for my practical course, i was briefly in the netherlands, where i had not been for almost 2 years!!! i had not told my parents, so it was a surprise for them to see me, haha... :)
this is utrecht from above, where i used to live before moving to boston. isnt it cute?! me and my sister climbed the largest church tower in the city (you can see that tower here). to the right in the front you can see the terrace of one of the many, many cafes, right next to the canal. it was so very, entirely, totally different from the us! and i really felt like a tourist, not having been there for almost 2 years.....
i got home last wednesday already, got back to the lab monday but somehow did not get back to my blog... from now on i hope to be back again! hope to write more about what i observed in the netherlands after 2 years of absence tomorrow....

Must have been an odd feeling.Coming back "home" after a couple of years.
Great you are back, I almost thought you had stopped for real. I am very curious what you think of the Netherlands after two years of absence! Can't wait to read with your funny observations.
Ah, 't Wed, feeling nostalgic here ;)
Welcome back. Nice to see a view of your homeland.
Utrecht looks like a good city from what we can see here. I only see a few of what Americans think of as the typical Dutch rooflines.
You have been seeing the USA with the eyes of a foreign person, and now you are looking back at the Netherlands as a near stranger. Pretty soon, you will be a woman without a country!
