Attempt at a representative Amsterdam shot: red row buildings, bicycles, trees, the corner of a canal. - PICT0054
Another, featuring the canal more prominently. This was just outside the Anne Frank House. - PICT0056
You get the idea. - PICT0057
Sarah and Kacee with bikes! (EVERYONE rides a bike in Amsterdam. Usually a heavy, old one with a squishy seat and peddle brakes.) - PICT0060
We went on a long ride (well, long for us non-cyclists) through the Dutch countryside. We stopped for a photo-op with the sheep. It also features the perfectly aligned trees that mark most of the fields I saw in France, Belgium, and Holland. - PICT0061
We were riding out to see a (humble, Dutch) castle, but it was closed. So we just stopped for a cola in a pretty little town. - Anthony

The "hallway" at Markham. The campus is all open to the air. Teachers straggle in. - lunch line
The first thing that greets us when we exit our dorm at 6:30 every morning: a line of boxed lunches. I can never look a turkey sandwich in the face again. - ms momeny s lit group
