An absolutely gorgeous day!
Yesterday I dressed up for our guest
speaker who came to class today. Before his presentation, I tried a popular
Dutch dish called Bitterballen that was served with mustard. It had a
distinctly fried exterior, with an almost gravy-like inside. It was very
enjoyable. After the presentation, I went with my friend to try and find the
Cat Café! The café is a place where domestic cats wander about a café while you
eat or drink, and they are free to be pet and cuddled! We walked past plenty of
gorgeous development areas and took in the scenery. The scent of flowers could
be whiffed the entire time, and the flowers themselves were vibrant with
health. Upon our arrival at the café, we saw one kitty curled up next to the
window and knew instantly that the place was closed.
On the way back
to the hostel, I hoped that I could return again before I leave for Berlin. We
went to the small restaurant at the hostel where I ordered a Dutch pancake and
apple juice. I was pleasantly surprised due to the sheer size of the plate I
received upon my order. It was bigger than my head twice over! After pouring
syrup and powdered sugar on it, I wholly demolished the pancake in minutes.
Once the pancake was completely demolished, I was just in time for dinner!
After walking about six miles, I had worked up quite the appetite. I ate beef,
potatoes, vegetables, bread, and two different types of deserts! Extremely
full, I made my way downstairs with my friends to watch one of them try a Dutch
pancake for the first time. She was not a fan of it, and I went back to the
room to catch up on some rest.
