Sweden visit!

It's hot and humid in The Hague today, and I'm almost suffocating in the apartment. I think I might go for a powerwalk in the afternoon if it cools off a bit, haven't done that for a while now. I'm really excited today though, because tonight I'm going to Schiphol to pick up my friend from Sweden who is visiting me for a few days! It will be a lot of fun, and I really can't wait to see her!

I finished reading the diary of Anne Frank yesterday, and what a lovely book it was! I'm seriously considering going to Amsterdam to visit her hiding place at Prinsengracht someday this summer. I mean, since I'm living so close by, why wouldn't I? It's a piece of history that would be very interesting to see, especially now that I've recently read the book.

This summer I've read a lot in general, and somehow I ended up reading three different books all regarding the WWII. It's a fascinating piece of history, and I honestly didn't know that well how the Netherlands was involved in it until I read the diary of Anne Frank. I only knew that the Dutch have held a deep grudge against Germans ever since that time. In one way I understand it better now, but it's such a long time ago that you can't let it be a prejudice still (which I've noticed many Dutch do).

Anyway, I'm rambling, and now I'm going to go on a powerwalk and clear my mind from WWII thoughts!
