Day 72-The Netherlands, Amsterdam

Last official day of Study Abroad!! It's a little strange this day has finally come...I'll be honest. It's a surreal feeling knowing I'll be back in the States within the next three days. I'm pretty accustomed to European life/being on the go 24/7 so it's going to be an adjustment returning back to the norm. Definitely mixed feelings.

Knowing it was our last day, I'm pretty sure my professor saved some of the most exciting adventures for last. We went to two awesome museums: one was an open air museum (where we wandered through a typical 17th century Dutch village) and the other had some of the coolest outdoor sculptures I've ever seen. One was this interactive red thing that was suspended in the air...and you could swing in it :) Probably the best part of the day, however, was riding bikes through Holland's forest/safari landscape. It was so peaceful feeling the gentle wind and the green forest around me. I felt like a native hollander riding around. :)

It really was the perfect last day.
