Ik hou mijn fiets!

A few things to pass:

In your face, Iowa! It was 71 degrees Fahrenheit today in Leiden. What a magnificent day. I had class until 12:30 when I ran around in the sunshine. No idea what it will be in Pella today, it is only about 11 am. But we rock.

Happy Birthday Ron.

Anyway- to the post... Ik hou mijn fiets. I was thinking today about the round-a-bout outside of my dorm. When I first got my bike, I was freaked out by going fast, I rode in third gear, and turns scared me. Tonight I rode around the bout like a demon. I take corners better than a maserati, and I ride my bike in fifth gear up hills. (Ik hou mijn fiets is Dutch [obviously] for I love my bike.

I saw some great books at the book store today- I wanted to pick them up, but I didn't. I was thinking about getting some rain gear because we're going to the island of Texel in Noord-Holland. I hear it rains there all the time- so I don't want to get wet!

So basically- the next time any of you hear from me it will be on MY 21ST BIRTHDAY!

I love your bike, too! And I am very glad you are having such wonderful weather! I don't know about Pella, but here it is very sunny but a bit chilly. I love all the trees and the crisp smell in the air. This is my favorite tome of year. Have fun in the Noord and stay dry and cozy. We definately don't want any sniffles on your birthday! I wish i could be there to buy you a pint.
Love, Amy
