Some very rowdy teenagers have been yelling and throwing bottles somewhere nearby for the last two hours. I don’t mind, since my video is taking forever to render and upload anyway, but my mom is getting pissy.

She has to get up early tomorrow because it’s her birthday, and she and her siblings are all meeting up . . . to celebrate her sister’s birthday, which is in August. Everyone knows it’s her birthday, of course, so I’m sure she’ll get plenty of presents and attention anyway—it’s just that she’ll be 62 and her sister will be 60, and multiple-of-five birthdays are a big deal in Holland.

I’m not invited (nuclear family only), so I’ve got some free time tomorrow. I might spend it shopping, or maybe hanging out with my uncle, my cousin Anouk, and her boyfriend. We’re borrowing my aunt’s car for the week, and my mom won’t need it tomorrow, so I can go wherever I want. Woo!

Here are a few clips from the first couple days of vacation. They take a while to edit, so there’s a lag of several days between when I film things and when I can post them. Today, for instance, we wandered around a few cute little towns nearby, but unless I spend all of tomorrow working, you won’t see that video until the middle of next week. Meh. Enjoy this one.
