Nijmegen: The Oldest Town in the Netherlands

As I promised in an earlier post, here are some pictures of Nijmegen. Nijmegen is an extremely quaint little city about (excuse the haughty, wanna-be high school writer, emo kid description) three and a half hours away from the bleak urban gray that is Dortmund.

(For some reason, using the words "bleak" and "gray" in such close proximity, for me personally, seems as though the writer is not only "trying too hard," but failing entirely at a creative description... i.e. it's too generic. Unfortunately, bleak and gray are the only ways in which someone can presently describe Dortmund, Germany; the only city I've ever seen actively fail changing seasons.)

And last, but not least, is my friend Laila pointing to what appeared to be dried blood on the seat next to her on the "boarder train" that goes from Germany to the Netherlands.
