Brace yourselves for a big entry. I’ve been hopping around Europe, and I’ve been saving up photos for the last month or so. So without further adieu, the Eurotrip!

Going Dutch: an Amsterdam food gallery
It was recently pointed out to me that I’ve been slacking on the food blogging lately, so I’m here to get you all caught up on my recent eats. As some of you may already know, I left home after a month and spent July studying abroad in Amsterdam. My class was fantastic, and I learned a lot about how the Dutch cultural background and attitudes translate into concrete social policies. My classmates hailed from all corners of the United States, from Oregon to Indiana, New York to Montana. When I wasn’t in class, I spent time with my new friends exploring the city by bike, and falling in love with its canals, museums, parks, and culture.
Needless to say, in the three weeks I was there I also got a fair amount of eating done, and it was nothing short of delightful. The dorm we stayed in not only had huge single rooms and windows overlooking a canal, but kitchens in every section, so I was able to prepare my own food a lot of the time. My meals were mostly pretty simple, though, so I didn’t photograph many of them. This entry is another gallery, in chronological order, including some traditional Dutch food, some things I made, and a bunch of stuff that I just thought was interesting. This is also my first entry with photos from my brand new fancy camera! Hope you enjoy!
