I'm going to my family's house in Amstelveen for dinner on Saturday. Then Sunday, we're going to Utrecht, where there's the museum Van Speelklok tot Pierement (mechanical musical instruments) and an exhibition in the Catharijneconvent. Charlotte says they "will give you as much Dutchness as we can put in a day." :-D
In other news, World Cup fever rages on in Holland and everywhere! Being in Europe for the world cup is so much more exciting than being in the US. For example, observe the toast to this morning's beans:
I don't think I'll be back on time, but my friend was telling me that this Sunday's going to be a partay at the Brazilian bar around the corner from my apartment. There will be feijoada and caipirinhas, some Brazilian samba or pagode, and then the game. Sounds very fun. I've been watching most of the games in Irish pubs because they have English commentary, and it's a fun scene. Good times.
