The End
Our last day in Arnemuiden and it is raining. That seems appropriate considering Pieter told me before we left that it rained alot here, and also appropriate because this is not a very happy day. I wish I could take parts of this lovely land and mesh them together with parts of the town I grew up in. To make a perfect little village with everyone I love there and lots of gouda cheese, as well as tacos. No offense to my family, but tacos are what I have missed the most from America. When we come back to the Netherlands, tacos will be the first thing I pack. I hope to return to this lovely village once things in life start to settle down. After I get a college degree, after we save up more money, and after we both have steady jobs. I'll miss the simplicity and the less rushed pace of the village. I feel blessed to have been able to experience a part of the world that many Americans only dream of.
