Grand Hotel Opduin - A Hampshire Classic Hotel De Koog

... Terschelling West etc.  Had some lunch(typically dutch "warm sandwiches" at the seaside of course and then walked around looking at everything.  At 6pm we arrived back home after a long and emotional day and cooked dinner.  We had potatoes with raw witlof just like mum used to make and a piece of steak.  Yum, Yum.  The weather is still fine not cold now we will see what tomorrow brings."

... glad to be here to witness it. It stormed most of the night with intermittent pounding rain, bellowing thunder and frightening lightening. Not a very peaceful night for sleeping. Tomorrow we are off to teach her English students again. Thanks for your comments and keeping up with the blog. I am enjoying it much more than I thought I would; I hope you are enjoying it as well.

Ok so the bike that I bought... it sucks. I spent the night cutting through a tube I found with a butter knife to replace the main seat stem. After 40 minutes I was able to cut through the whole thing. It sucks not to have decent tools. This morning I woke up and the front tire was completely flat. That almost completely destroyed my plans ...

... very interesting he is the president and CEO of the Idaho Stampede which is a NBA farm team and Nina works with Children with disabilities just like Brett. Tonight we are going another tour and Nina and Steve happen to be doing the same one. The tour tonight should be very interesting, it is a tour of the red light district and our tour guide is a old prostitute. Should be GREAT FUN!!!!!! (sorry for all the grammar mistakes I am very tired!) Robin+Brett

... an hour. Then everything went nuts. Complete chaos. In the room, the hallway and from the sound of it, the street as well. People had lost their damn minds... ...oh, wait. Scratch that. They were all just high. This is what happens when people who are already well sub-Britney in mental capacity smoke for three days straight and add alcohol to the mixture. Try as I might, I couldn't escape it. So I finally made an executive decision: Get the hell outta ...

I took a day trip out to The Hague before starting work. While my guidebook calls it "Amsterdam's stern maiden aunt", the city had several nice museums. I made it to the Mauritshaus, the Binneof, and the International Court of Justice before my feet started to throb and I had to go home.

I blinked and Munich was over. Such a great time and I met such great people. I have a theory in life that good people attract other good people and this trip definitely helped solidify that. Our last night was super fun and we met some cool ass chics. The weather in Munich stayed beautiful for us. Just 2 days of rain, the rest were amazing. Arriving in Amsterdam in a bit, a little hungover but totally psyched. Thank you Munich for the time of my life!

... past several weeks trying to learn everything! I'm taking over a contracting/financial position so my daily activities involve a variety of contract types, lots of invoices, and filling out reports. It's certainly interesting to experience the many different aspects of an office, considering this function is much different than my previous one. I have nice colleagues and the office environment is pretty relaxed (one of the senior executives sits at a desk right ...

... our car always stops for flea markets. As it turned out it wasn't really much of a market but was some sort of festival. The local Lion's club was selling fresh herring and an old lightboat which was docked in the harbor was open for free tours. Also in the same area was a sea rescue museum (which reminded Melanie of that Kevin Costner movie "The Guardian"), an old VOC ship replica and the remains of an old ...

... had changed! Lol Eef is still as happy and bubbly as ever...! But Oma showed me how to make Danish Frikadellen ( i will make them for you when i get home, dad!) and that was fun! So we sat around and talked, then ate dinner and "toetje" (dessert). Eveline was staying in Enkhuizen for the weekend, so she did not have to leave too early. Ahh... I love my family...
