Terschelling, yea try to say that why dont ya

So this weekend we had a class excursion to Terschelling. A northern Dutch island, it was cold, not a regular sight seeing adventure, and it was AWESOME. In the midst of all the traveling it was very nice to have a downer weekend where we had more time to relax and just enjoy the weekend, and this island was an absolutely perfect place to do that. The island has sand dune upon sand dune, and more continue to grow as the strong winds whip up the fine sand brought up by the ocean currents.
Bryan and I spent the first day on a 4 hour hike to make it to the top of some major sand dunes to get probably the most perfect view on the island. The wind had smoothed the sand so it looked like nobody had even been there before. Pictures don't do it justice but they will try. The next couple days we spent exploring the island via tandom bikes and nature walks. It was great, here are some pictures. Oh yea, and Bryan and I did go swimming in the North sea, and North is apparently synonomous with freezing cold!
