A few weeks ago Rob told us about the vondelpark meet up organized for Sue. They call it pot luck!! Never ever heard of it. We used to call it an American party. But it seems to be the same. What can we bring to have something different. Mandy made a choice, empanadas and a pasta salad. Than J…

So it's 5:30 in the afternoon right now and I just came home 2 hours ago from a long train ride from Amsterdam. I wasn't really going to blog about the meet-up now since I have tons more of blogs lined up to do and it's going to take me until summer to finish them all up but I just couldn't resist …

And so it seems I have settled for a general route. After four months of gathering information, calculating the budget, matching the order of the countries with the recommended season to visit them, oh, and of course my decision to add three more months to my trip on the whole, the route will rough…

   The keys you find in the city's weapon are all over the city. It seems it dates back to 1293. The dead painter I am reffering to wasn't even born then, that happened in 1606. More then 400 years later people still visiting Leiden to find the birthhouse of Rembrandt. It's not there an…

My next meet-up was going to be in the far far north of the Netherlands. But the question is: Is it still the Netherlands?

Today was the last day of the meet-up and as we had plenty of time we all slept in a little. We had breakfast together again and talked some more. We decided to go back into the village by car this time but before we would do this we would pack and clean so we wouldn't have to come back. So we stri…

On my last morning, the snow drifted down and made Utrecht look like a fairy tale.  It almost killed me to leave!  Of course, it had its comedy.  Showing Doug round, it got to about a centimetre and a half.  About three minutes after my brother commented how funny it would be if…

I took a shower and as soon Lynn was ready we went for breakfast at the Movenpick hotel were I stayed with Lynn during my last night in Amsterdam... Breakfast was super and it was my fir…

We figured everyone would be exhausted after a long night...since Brett and I left after 2am and everyone was still going strong, we figured they would sleep in later than us.  I told Patricia to call us, about an hour before they were ready to meet so we could shower and get ready.  Bret…

I could not get up early if I tried: Agnes, Manuel and I had one of the longest nights following the two nights at Casablanca and New Years eve. I must have over done myself because I got cross with Agnes when she tried to wake me up to take a phone call at about 9:00 a.m. Wendy had called me up a …
