Today was laundry day yay!
I think that the washers here must be super effecent. It took an hour to do the wash part of it and another hour to dry it. Our campground is out of the way by a bunch of farms. The farms here are so cute(like EVERYTHING) We met our neighbor today. His name is Rob, he has a belgan sheppord named Molly. She is less then half the size of a German shepord. I think that everything is so cute because its so small. Angie says that Haarlem is here new favorite city. It is just like Amsterdam except cleaner and the people are so much nicer.
The buildings here are amazing. We havent taken any pictures because there is never any sun.(I am not sure if the pictures that we actually took turned out or not)
So far I haven't seen very many good beer, then again we haven't been to to many bars.
Its very easy to get around on a bike, Haarlem is about the size of sturgis but everything is squished together.
I forgot to mention that last night we had a kitten playing with the strings of our tent. Angie kept wacking the side to try to scare it off, but I think it was just getting it more excited. I got out the water bottle and gave it a good squrirt and then it seemed to get the message.
We went to the grocery store and bought enought stuff for dinner and breakfast, it was funny because you have to weigh your produce and we didnt know it so we had no idea how to do it. Unlike Amsterdam not everything has english written beside it so we are very clueless about most things, we are just figuring stuff out as we go. The computer that I am on for example, its operating system is in dutch. Dutch is sort of like german though so some stuff we can figure out.

Ah yes. The joys of having to weigh and bag your produce. It's the same in Korea, though the procedure for doing it varies from store to store. All the computers that I use here have the operating systems in Korean... which is always an adventure! I'm glad you figured out the Dutch operating system! It's always great to read your blog! Sounds like you guys are having a great time!
