Dag 72: Sinterklaas?

Tuesday, November 1, 2011: Maastricht

It was a normal Tuesday morning. I woke up to my alarm, hit the snooze button for another ten minutes, decided then to get out of bed, and descended the ladder from my bed to the main area of my room. I grabbed my toiletries to head to the bathroom and opened the door to my room. I looked down and noticed my house mate's shoe sitting in front of my door, with a chocolate 'S' propped inside, patiently waiting for me to awake and find it sitting at my door. I immediately looked to my watch and checked the date. November first. Okay, I thought so, whew! Its not December yet! Confused, I continued to the bathroom to brush my teeth and thought to myself, why is there a chocolate "S" at my door on November 1? This should happen on December 5th for the Dutch holiday tradition of Sinterklaas....???

Later, I came to find out that the letters were a treat from Sofie, one of my housemates. She had seen them at the store and decided to give them to us early, since they were for sale so early. What a nice thought! And yumminess :)
