The temperature thingy says 0 degrees! Very exciting and perhaps a good time to introduce two new trippists to this here blog:

First, a Floridian who has been bouncing from city to city in different parts of the world for a few years. I've seen her in the halls of the U of Amsterdam and rumor has it she is a masters student. No doubt we will hear about this and many more of Amsterdam's secrets that she has uncovered, please welcome - Becky.

Next, a Massachussetser... or is it.. Massachussetsette? Regardless, she is a Wellesley student doing her semester abroad in Amsterdam. Having arrived only one week ago, you can bet she will share all the trials and tribulations of figuring out this city and all the fun that comes with it. And we call her -- Emily.

Naturally you will find them and their purdy pictures under the "your trippists" section as well. Welcome ladies!
