On My Own

Hello everyone,

Nicole has left me to go back to the states, so alas I am on my own. Things are actually going very well. My first day I went to Antwerp (the second largest city in Belgium) and I had a great time. The hostel I stayed at had an excellent environment for meeting people, so I tromped around town with four people for most of the day. One of them is going to meet up with me in Amsterdam! Antwerp surprised me, I really enjoyed it. The town is beautiful and fun. The hostel I stayed in was probably the easiest to make friends at.

Today, I slowly made my way to Rotterdam. I will stay here for two nights (tomorrow I will visit Amsterdam). Everything in Rotterdam is new since the city was completely destroyed in WWII. It looks a lot like the states in the sense that everything was built so recently. I am enjoying my stay here as well although I haven't made any friends here yet, but I see a few faces around eager for companionship. Take care one and all!

With harmony,
Emilie
