2/6/14 Internship day 25

We had a small party since I'm leaving soon. We played shuffleboard, which was a lot of fun with 6 people playing (I got second place!). My roommate made traditional Chinese hot pot for dinner, and I made American pancakes for dessert. It was all very delicious, or "lekker" as the Dutch say. After we ate, my boss gave me a piece of jewelry as a parting gift! I don't have a picture of it, but it was a lovely little brooch by Noam Elyashiv, who happens to be my professor at RISD.

2/5/14 Internship day 24

I photographed some jewelry by Herman Hermsen, and stared photoshopping it to make images for the gallery inventory. After work we went out to eat at a tiny falafel place and then went to a couchsurfing.org meeting. We met people from The Netherlands, Turkey, Germany, Australia, and a few other countries.

2/4/14 Internship day 23

I helped select jewelry for Marzee's next "Jewelry, the Choice of ___" project. I forget exactly who or where the people are from that will be featured in this project, but it will be very extravagant. Lots of gold. Basically 25 people get to come to the gallery this Sunday and select jewelry from the permanent collection to wear and get photographed in. These photographs and some quotes from the participants will get turned into a book.

2/3/14 Germany

I rented a bike at the Nijmegen train station, found a travel store and bought a map, and rode from Nijmegen to Kleve, Germany. It was about 35 miles total (including all my detours and getting lost a few times), and took about 4 hours round trip. I didn't do too much in Kleve, just went to a cafe and bought a pastry, and went to a few stores and bought gloves and knitting needles. After I got back I was exhausted and made pasta.

Kranenburg looks pretty similar to Nijmegen

I found the yarn store!

Hmm... just the ears?

They're just packs of tissues.

Crossing the border to Nederland on the way back. How uneventful.
