Lounging and hanging out with friends

The plan today was to go to Delft, but we had slept in very late. I didn’t get up till around 1-2pm and from there we made breakfast/ lunch to eat. It was all the stuff we had bought from the grocery store the other day. So I was trying out new things like pancakes and some bread spread. All of which, were pretty damn good. By the time we finished, Xavier was talking with us and the time seemed to fly by. We left the house around 3:30pm and got to central station around 4pm. The line was fairly long to get a train ticket and the place is about 30-45 minutes away. So we scrapped the idea about going there. Everything in the Netherlands closes at 6pm, so what we decided to do was walk around and go shopping.

We went inside of Magna Plaza, which looks big on the outside, but not so much on the inside. I bought more souvenirs, which ended up being more money than I expected. It was for 5 things but around 30 Euros, which is around $40. It was ok since I would have spent that money in Delft, had we gone there.

We walked around some more and we went into a place where I could get some apple pie and eat French fries with mayonnaise. I think I ordered incorrectly, but luckily SEK saved me. The fries with mayo actually weren’t bad. It was rather tasty. The apple pie at this place was extremely delightful. Really it was the best apple pie I’ve ever had.

From there, we went back to the university apartments. We were just hanging out there for a little while. The plan at this point was to eat dinner at home, but when we met up with Xavier, he had said Manny wanted to go out to have dinner with Tyler, Matt, Xavier and us before going to see X-Men 3.

The problem was Manny fell asleep and everything was a little disorganized. In the end, we never went to see a movie, but we did go get dinner at an Italian restaurant near the university. Tyler and Matt had already gone to dinner, so they didn’t join us. I had lasagna, which was heaven. It was excellent. We had talked a lot there too about cultures from different countries.

After we finished, we headed back to Manny’s apartment and had some wine. We stayed there for an hour or so, then we went back to SEK’s place. Manny and Matt were going to go clubbing at 2am. There were some unfriendly people, mainly Kelly from Santa Barbara. I showered and then slept.
