Greetings from Matt and Laura

Welcome to the blog of Matt and Laura, two graduate students who were on an adventure in the land of windmills, wooden shoes, dykes, and Heineken - The Kingdom of the Netherlands. During the week, Matt was doing graduate research at TU Delft and Laura was having a blast without him; on the weekend, there was no telling where they would end up. Matt and Laura returned to The States in August 2009, but you can still catch up on their European adventures (and misadventures) here.

These are a few of my favorite things...

As I biked in the rain to recharge my laundry chip card, I had to remind myself why I liked living here. I thought I share my favorite things with you, too.

Bike rides by windmills and cold Belgian beer
Fresh milk and cheeses and the holidays here
City parks and playgrounds with plenty of swings
These are a few of my favorite things

Hot savory crepes and sweet waffles galore
Warm chocolate muffins and walks by the shore
Fresh baked bread that is fit for the kings
These are a few of my favorite things

Bright colored mittens and scarves of all sizes
Boxes full of chocolates and other surprises
Markets full of bright flowers and rings
These are a few of my favorite things

When the wind blows
When the rain stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
