I'm gonna write you a letter, gonna write you a book...

It's Reading Week at St. Andrews right now, which means that the smarties stay in the library, catch up on work and write their essays, and I take off on holiday to Amsterdam!  My housemate, Molly (she's from Sudbury, how funny is that?), and I took off on Friday and arrived back in Scotland on Wednesday afternoon.  Four full days of canals, bikes, markets, museums and apple pie!!!  The city  was cold and blustery and lovely and looked like a fairy tale. 

I originally had all kinds of plans to go to Utrecht for a few days, maybe over to Bruge or the Hague.  In the end there was so much to do and see in Amsterdam that we stayed there the whole time, with one brief trip to Haarlem.  

I went to the Van Gogh Museum, saw the Anne Frank House, the Flower Market, the Photography Museum, strolled Vondelpark, ate fries with mayo and walked half the city with lots of breaks for coffee.  So much fun!

More photos will follow, probably on facebook.  And now it's back to work....

Hope you are well!

Hugs,

Sarah
