I know it has been a while since I last posted and that is because I have been swamped with work and activities. This week someone new, a Canadian Dutchman named Bjorn, moved onto our floor. He is very interesting, well-spoken, informed, and good to talk with. Today we went to Delft to visit the center of water management. After being treated to a two-hour lecture about water, we went to the Nieuwe Kierk of Delft where the royal Oranje family has been buried since King Willem's death in 1564. The piazza, and I describe it as such because it was so evocative of an italian plaza, was amazing. I really enjoyed the portion of the city I saw.
Following our time in Delft, we went to the nearby kinderdijk where we finally got to see some windmills. The area was fairly stark, but the windmills were a welcome sight and actually quite prevalent in the part of the country in which we found ourselves.
Today was fun and I hope tomorrow's finals go well.
