Basically there has been an endless amount of holidays over here. Nothing screams holidays more than festivals. It's really ideal when they're in your backyard too. Last week I had the pleasure of seeing bands such as Friska Viljor, Nada Surf, Vive La Fete, and Data Rock. I have to admit that it was a bit trippy seeing Nada Surf again - the lead singer has gray hair now! It seems like just yesterday that they were in their prime and gave Jen and I a drum stick when we were clueless teenyboppers. I also saw an amazing band called Black Mountain. It was like a time-warp back to 1975 or something...good stuff. Besides festivals and music, there have been a lot of bbqs and outdoor activities due to the amazing weather. No one is too sure how long this is going last, so needless to say we're taking full advantage. On Saturday I rented a kayak with my friend, Eline. It was really cool to see Groningen from the angle of the canals. I definitely want to go again. If you come visit me, it's inevitable.

Finally, I threw together a pick-up game of ultimate frisbee. Great to see friends enjoying a typical American past time.
Picnic time! The intertube was genious...not to mention the jump rope.
