To the Netherlands

Before vacation, I went to Maastricht with Astrid and a few of her friends. We were really lucky that the weather was nice, but there were so many people there. There was a big Christmas Market in the city with ice skating and small rides.
First, we went to an Italian restaurant that had the most amazing pizza. It was probably twice as big as my face, but somehow I ate all of it.

Then, we went shopping in a huge market place. There was a huge ferris wheel and ice skating rink in the center. We walked around all of the little shops and booths and then decided to go back to the normal stores in the city to shop.
We had a really nice time shopping, but there were so many people that we weren't able to move through stores very easily. It seemed people just stood in the doorway for 5 minutes without even noticing that we wanted to get through.

Probably the most annoying thing was the bus ride home. Nearly a 1 1/2 hour drive, and we had to stand the whole way. Anyway, none of us really found anything to buy because of the crazy amount of people, but it was still nice weather and a good time with friends.
