Day 15: Van Gogh Museum

This morning, the group took a trip to the Van Gogh museum where we admired several of the artist's original works. Sadly, his famous "Starry Night" is on loan to a museum in New York, so we weren't able to see it. But the "Sunflowers", "Self-Portrait" and the one with the smoking skeleton were enough to make the trip worth it.
"Self-Portrait" or as I've come to call it, "The Original Selfie"

After our visit, Dr. Wilson led us across town to Waterlooplein to get fresh-made deli sandwiches and drinks for around 5 euros. A perfect, cheap lunch that I'll surely be back for.

We were supposed to visit the Heroin Clinic today, but the visit wasn't able to be coordinated properly with anyone on the Clinic's end. We may go another day or not at all.

With that, it's been a relatively slow, quiet day. I just finished a homework assignment involving price comparisons from different "coffeeshops" around town. It's dinnertime here, and I'm feeling a bit peckish so I might head down to the grocery store and pick up something. Some folks headed out to the brewery at the Windmill awhile ago. Might try to catch up with them. Class tomorrow as our last weekend kicks off!
