Hi, I’m Greta!
I’m heading into my final year rowing for JU, and I’m so excited to share about our time here in Amsterdam today.
Today, we had the opportunity to see the city and explore! Prior to leaving, we woke up and shared breakfast together, and then packed our things.
The weather in the Netherlands has been brisk and cool, a very different experience than our normal Florida heat. We took the train, watching the adorable world of Delft shrink away as we rolled on towards the lively city of Amsterdam. Upon arrival, each of us split off to experience the sights of the city! Following our noses, some of my teammates and I stopped in for Amsterdam’s famous pancakes, and they were incredible!
After that delicious detour, we set off to visit the Van Gogh Museum. We spent quite some time there taking in all of the paintings and art, everyone pointing out their favorites and admiring the masterpieces on display.
Wrapping up our day, we walked back towards the train station, visiting shops, buying snacks, and dodging all of the speedy bicycles.
I’m ecstatic to get to compete here tomorrow and represent Jacksonville University alongside my team, it’s already been such an impactful trip for all of us!
