i love summer. this morning i went for a run, got ready for work, rode my bike to the train station, put my stuff in a locker, and then went to the zoo to see the the big cats (grote katten) and the hippos (nijlpaarden = nile horses) before catching the train to tilburg. the membership that colin got me for my birthday lets me go in an hour before the official opening time so it was a nice and peaceful start to the day.
