We arrived early today at Schiphol with no problems. Both flights went fine, they were just pretty long and boring. Daniel left my Slaughterhouse-Five book on the first flight :O So that is why I don't trust him with things like that, hahaha...
Upon arriving, we got our luggage and met with Vivienne and some Dutch students that didn't have exams. We got on a nice bus and travelled to Leidschendam-Voorburg. The ride there was about 45 minutes, and it was really cool seeing the Dutch landscape.
We went to Dalton School Voorburg and we got talked to by the headmaster, observed Dalton hours, and went to a couple classes. We then had lunch with all of the Dutch kids hosting and the other travelers. Note in the picture below: that is only approximately a third of the bicycles parked at the Dalton school.
After we took a short walk to the Vlieger, an original windmill from the 1600's. We got a tour of the inside of it and got a little history of it. The coolest part though was just seeing the Dutch landscape with random canals and little rivers all over the place, and a ton of biciclists.

Okay, I'll try again to leave a comment. Manny did a comment and it disappeared into space.
These pictures and journal are awesome, Alec. It's nice that you and Daniel will be blogging.
Have fun, and hopefully you won't have too much jetlag! (Forge on through it)

Hey Alec! You are so lucky you get to see another country. The other day we had students from Japan at my school and they were really cool. I really would like to be a foriegn exchange student so i can see the world outside of America! Have fun!~Miranda~
Hi Alec,
I'm gonna do this in Dutch. Blij en gerust dat jullie veilig aangekomen zijn. Jetlag? Alec, ik heb gevlogen over de hele wereld voor 22 jaar en nooit "jetlag" gehad. Na de foto's te zien op je blog, ik krijg heimwee. Heb veel plezier en hoop spoedig meer van je te horen. Ik houd van je,
Papa
PS
Wie is Miranda?
