Europe 2012- Day 25: ASML & Go karting


Tuesday we got up early and I drove Nate to work so I could have to car to come back around lunch so the guys could have a tour of ASML.

On this day my one good pair of jeans I had brought from home decided they hated me and not only did the zipper break (by going down too far and not being able to get them back together) but also splitting open a thin spot worn through by lots of use. Needless to say my goal for the day was the buy a new pair of jeans that didn’t break the bank.

 When I got back from dropping Nate off at work I told the guys I was going out shopping, they decided to go to the DAF museum here in Eindhoven that was a short walk away, I told them to meet me back at the apartment no later than 11:30 so we could head to ASML.

Since the guys didn’t have a key I wanted to make sure I got back before them and so I really only had about an hour I could shop. I had looked online to see what stores might be more affordable but the couple I went to didn’t have anything I would wear.

With my time gone I decided it would have to wait till we got back from lunch. Nate decided that 12:30 would be a better arrival time for us, and after getting our visitors badges we decided would start by eating lunch. We then went through a similar tour that he had taken Dave and Kristie and I on.

After getting back from our tour I headed out again in search of jeans. The biggest issue I have is that 99% of jeans are skinny jeans, of which I cannot wear. After much searching though I was finally able to find some boot cut jeans in my size, and although they may be slightly more “Mom Jeans” than I like, they fit and didn’t cost a fortune, so they will just have to work till I get home.


In the evening the guys decided they wanted to go go-karting. There is a double decker track in Eindhoven that Nate enjoys while he’s here.
