Day 6:

SO wow i've skepped over a lot. Today is my last day at the beach. I got here yesterday but woke up that day in Amsterdam. I had a long day the day before too with Anne Frank in the morning and then booking my hostels for the next couple days and in India. then i took a nap and woke by 4 to go hang out with a friend from the hostel. We walked around in Amsterdam that day and went to the store to pick up food and get other stuff, and then met up with other friends from the hostel and party all night. so then i woke up and caught a bus out to the beach town of Noordwijk where i am now. All day yesterday i was out in the town or on the beach i walked as far up the beach as my fair skin could stand and then i started walking back, i got to go topless so that was awesome and i ate grapes on the beach and went in the water. In town i just walked all around their village where all the locals lived and then down on the beachfront where they had so awesome art and installations. Now today i'm goig to go walk on the beach some more and then head back to amsterdam where i have one more day till my flight to india. Hopefully i will get to up load some pictures when i get to india. That's the basic idea of what i've been doing these last couple days. Hope all is well where you are.

Peace & Love,
Caty

Day 4: Another Day in Amsterdam

This morning i woke up bright and early to get the the Anne Frank house before the rush. Last night I met some fun people from Australia, Norway and Britain last night and Celeste from Australia came to the house with us and then her and i wondered around the more local part of Amsterdam which had much better shops and places to eat then the touristy red light area.
I stayed up much too late and only got 4 hours of sleep. So tomorrow I'm headed to the beach for some relaxation before India. The other two architecture students who i was traveling with are off to Paris today, so i'm on my own, which i'm liking more it's so much easier to only look after yourself. Well my time is running out on the internet so i'm off hopefully when i'm at the beach i'll have more down time to update more.

Peace & Love,
Caty

Day 3: In Amsterdam, am Still Awake

So yes i've made it to Amsterdam, and am still awake. It's been a really long day of plane ride and train ride, walking around Amsterdam (at least 4 times, and my feet are killing me), looking at loads of Architecture, enjoying the, culture and life style, of the, people and city setting, and so much more... but right now i'm too busy living to write too long of a note i'll try to catch you guys up tomorrow. Just wanted to let you know i got here safe. : )

Peace & love,
Caty

Day 2: Flying to Amsterdam

I'm off to the airport! flying to Amsterdam. We get in at 7am local time then, we're staying at the flying pig hostel in downtown. I'll write again once i get there.

Day 1: Drive from Portland to Seattle


Today I woke up, and was sure I had forgotten half the things that I needed. I double and triple checked everything but still managed to forget a couple things like my headphones. oh well life goes on.
Sam is my traveling partner from Portland to Amsterdam so her and I drove up to Seattle this afternoon, here's a picture of us at our Starbucks pit stop.
We got to my parent's house in Seattle around 5 after I gave Sam a mini tour of West Seattle. We had spaghetti with some family and Megan. We got to watch a movie about Grandma and Grandpa's adventure travels in Africa with elephants.
I'm kind of nervous but mostly excited. My flight is tomorrow at 1 so I get to sleep in. So off I go to bed. Hopefully I'll have time tomorrow before my flight to write again and tell you all what this crazy trip abroad is all about. But for now good night.
