sorted the locked out issue, now to have a NAAAAAP. had lunch, got bakerygoodies, and a magazine and life seems better now.

BUT OH SO TIRED. I'm used to walking, but right now stairs and I are, well its a hobble. My feet are thrashed, and a pulled leg muscle is refusing to un knot, so perhaps a bit of low key r and r.

Tomorrow will be museum day in Haarlem, and I have plans afoot for maastrict, rotterdam and utrecht.

And I am mostly able to understand train platform announcements: Dames en herren, de trein naar Amsterdam Sloterdijk, Haarlem....vertrekt voor spoor 2a.... Not like i didn't actually hear it about 200 times last night or anything!

Its weird when dutch reads as normally as english to me, the feeling of HEY I am familiar with this!

ok, yep. sleep. Next time in AMS: probably Anne frank huis and Van gogh museum, Rijks gets its own day, and there's Artis Zoo and the Stedelijk modern art museum. And re evaluate what goes in my backpack for classes, yeah.

I'm much too tired to be sociable, so I declined tea, and I desperately need some rest, and then try to blast through the raft of worksheets and reading tonight. Its a process alright. I need to get more confident in speaking and i'm getting there. Right now its a half mash of dutch and english!

so that nap? nearly 4 hours. I was pretty run down all week and not feeling great yesterday, so no surprise, really. feel faaaabulous now.

Alas, the garage is still locked so no groceries from there. I forgot to ask Chris about that much. Ah well. I have bread, hagelslag, and apples, and an "appelflappen" ( some kind of pastry like thing, so I shall not starve.

Tomorrow, the Frans Hals museum and the Adriaan windmolen. I think that'll do for the day.
