Nitty Gritty

Alright, so lets get down to the real nitty gritty. I have spent a little over one hundred euro so far. I've been doing well and haven't whipped out the credit card once. The last two mornings we've cooked our breakfast in the house and at night I'll sometimes pick up some frites. And other times We went to the grocery store yesterday in the wagg and dropped about forty euro. I didn't have to pay so it was sweet. The grocery stores here are small, very small, and reading the labels isn't an easy task. If you're good with color and food association then you shouldn't have any trouble. But they are nothing like our Fred Meyer. For one you have to purchase the bags BEFORE she scans all your items, and you better haul ass when it comes to packing groceries. You also have to rent the cart you're using for 50 euro cents which will give you an hour. The grocers even sit down to do their job. I'm about to eat my pancakes and enjoy the sunshine. I'm getting ready for tonight because the streets will be so packed you won't even be able to turn around, it's going to be crazy!! Tomorrow I'm going to Vondel Park to meet up with a few people I met on the flight over and later this week after queens day and things have settled down I will be on a train around the nederlands! Hope all is well in Portland and I will talk to you soon!
