Looking back I still feel slightly nostalgic... Which is funny because I really missed Target and stores open later than 6 while I was there. Funny how that happens.
The second to last weekend we were there (right where I left off in the last post) a group of us went to Cologne and then to Frankfurt. We had a lot of fun, though I got food poisoning that showed up on the train between the two. I should ask Tanzia to write about Germany haha :) Mom asked me so many times what we saw and what we did but I couldn't remember much of it. I do remember a Mexican restaurant in Cologne and the Italian festival in Frankfurt though. And a lot of bridges!
As usual the week was school school school!!! I really should have kept up blogging... I'm having a hard time recalling everything! We took a field trip to the Delta Works project in the Netherlands - that was AMAZING. I encourage you to look it up and just realize how much thought and money went into that project to save lives and ecosystems. An awesome feat of engineering. A lot of things had to be designed and built specially for this project (the cranes and boats that moved the piers into place and lowered the gates....) Phenomenal.
That weekend I was hoping to get to convention in France but with finals the next week and getting packed up to go it just seemed a little overwhelming, so I changed my mind and most of us just stayed in Leuven that weekend. The next week would be a flurry of trying to study and relax and see and do everything one last time before leaving Leuven. I never did get back to Green Way (the vegetarian restaurant) that one last time... It was good food and the guy who worked there always gave us free stuff... :)
The way home was pretty uneventful except that my backpack got searched going through security in Brussels and all of my 4 bags got searched going through US Customs. WOO. Especially after I had stuffed everything just a little too full...
Well, that's it folks... And WOW this has made me sad.
