I am also getting out on weekends! Two weeks ago I went to lunch with a couple from California Marcia and David. Got connected with them through my current boss Jennifer. They have been living in Amsterdam for the last year and David is also working here in the Netherlands. Was fun to talk to others about challenges living abroad and things we miss about home! We went out for lunch and then went to a nearby restaurant for coffee/beer & tea. They are going back to the US for Thanksgiving but hoping to connect with them again in the coming months.
One of my co-workers Simone invited me to a purse party. There were about 10 people and 50+ purses to choose from. They had a lot of really nice designer bags for a reasonable price. I picked a gray leather one. Perfect size since my laptop JUST fits in it. Did not know the brand but have gotten a lot of comments since about the designer.

Heard back home that there is a lot of snow! The weather has been really nice this fall which is not typical. From what I hear it is usually raining quite a bit and cold/gloomy. Maybe that is going to come but the last few weeks have been really nice. Days are usually int the 50's! I have been walking a lot on weekends. Love to get a coffee and walk around at night to see all of the holiday lights!
This past Friday I went out for dinner/drinks with a co-worker Danielle. She is just a few years older than I am and an awesome person. We went to a place right across the street from my apartment. It is an old train station that has recently been renovated. There is a large bar in the middle and tons of food venues all around it. Very fun place to grab a drink and hang out. Really enjoyed her company and shared a lot of storied/laughs! I even tried calamari - talk about being BRAVE! Was not bad, I added a little lemon juice and did not mind it. The after taste was a little fishy. Was fun to try.
Here are a few more recent photos!
