Winter in Holland

I know the point of this blog is to mark all the places I go to visit during my year in Europe... well unfortunately it is QUITE COLD these days...so traveling has been to a bare minimum - i would rather stay in my little studio than go out... not even to go shopping (one of my fav activities)...any day . hahhaa sad but I grew up in North Carolina...where it can be 70F even in January (so I've heard from my friends). That being said, I'm waiting for Spring to hit Europe... I'm told about march is when it starts to get sunnier!! YAYYY I can't wait!!

But I figured it would still be nice to update you with some of my adventures this past month...within Holland. I mostly spent my weekends in Spakenburg and Delft. In spakenburg i checked out the "spakenburg museum"- which was really neat. it chronicled the lifestyles of spakenburg back in the day, and in delft i checked out the "priesonhoef"... something like that - it is a museum all about William of Orange (very famous guy in Holland's history..look it up on wiki. haha).

Here are some pics: enjoy!
