Last weekend, I went to the beach with Jolanda, Rebeca, and another lady named Lianne. I didn't realize that the beach was only about a 25-minute train ride from here, so that was a nice surprise! Here was a shocker: you're allowed to go topless on the beaches--there's not even a separate beach for that! This is one crazy place. A lot of the Dutchies thought it was weird that I thought it was weird! We spent about six hours on the beach, then came back and went to a sidewalk cafe for apple pie and coffee. I really needed a nice weekend like that!
