Living Abroad
Ups and and downs, side to side. Story of my life!
Living in the Netherlands was a really great experience, I got to visit several famous places in Europe (I went to Paris, Tuscany [I can definitely see the resemblance in Livermore], Munich, Amsterdam, etc.) and I made lot's of friends who I still miss and keep in touch with. It was probably the most important time of my life so far.
Fun Fact: The pilgrims lived in Leiden, a dutch town, before coming to America. Some families stayed behind! -
