I've been here so many times &amp; I never take pictures... so I decided to remedy that this time. Dordrecht is one of the most picturesque towns I've ever seen, &amp; I'm lucky to have the opportunity to stop there often on my way to Africa to visit my good friend Colette.<br>

Ce dimanche n'était pas reposant du tout !!<br><br>On se fait réveiller à 10h par un bruit énorme mais pas les choucas, non un gros vrombissement de moteur. On va voir à la fenêtre et la pleins de gens et des grosses motos. Et là je me rappelle mais oui il y a un défilé d'Harley ce we. LE Harley-Dag comme ils appellent ça. Donc en gros toute la journée tu entend les gros gros bruits d'Harley ...

... les hollandaises.<br>Tout affolé, puisque n'en ayant jamais eu, j'appelle ma chérie qui me dit que c'est bien une tique et me dit d'aller à l'hôpital, puisque j'ai rien pour l'enlever ici et que la méthode charcutage de Manue me tente pas!<br>Ah bah bien sûr, elle est marrante elle, comment on dit hôpital et tique en hollandais?!<br><br>Bon, j'ai réussi à aller à l'hôpital (non sans me faire interpeller par la s ...

... ils font là<br>Si si, je vous jure, des lapins nains, comme celui qu'on a à la maison<br><br>Mais ce n'est pas tout, je retrouve également des coqs, hé ouais leur doux chant mélodieux pour se réveiller le matin, rien de tel !<br> <br>Bizarre bizarre<br>Quel drôle de contrée!<br>

... that has a meaning relevant to the theme ,we must have looked a sight as we managed to get interviewed by the local tv news &amp; some freinds from work saw it replayed for 3 days! The bigger parties are however below the river (in Brabant) so saturday night we headed down to seven hills on the train with a bunch of other animals and drag queens and monks and ring leaders and strawberries etc etc and the small town was one big party ! a lot of live music , beer , and dancing done ...

... s les tables extérieures avec une famille locale. Dad : je pense que j'ai trouvé une étude de notaire hollandaise : Fred nous téléphone sur notre portable et viens nous chercher. Nous arrêtons en chemin au Frita Paleis, un restaurant où TOUT, sauf peut-être la crème glacée, est frit. Nous avons commandés des Frinkendels specials, une saucisse enrobée d'une pâte, frite et recouverte d'oignions, mayonnaise et sauce genre ...

... drained into the river from the high catch water basin. The mills can still function. In 1868 steam driven pumping stations were built on both sides. Nowadays, modern pumping stations have taken over this water management task. Both pumping stations pump the water directly into the river. Was able to take some good photos of the windmills and of Nora and Grada. We then followed the River Lek along the dikes. This area is known as Nieuwe Lekkerland. In some ...

... so much fun but we are very sad that we won't be seeing them for a while (they will be in Holland for another 2 years). Since they are both Hawkeyes too, we are hoping that they will MAYBE be able to make it up for a game in the fall! Saturday, we had our favorite Dutch friend, Rianne over for dinner. Nate made his famous pizza, and then we introduced her to our favorite American movie... Wedding Crashers! She had never heard of the movie before, so we were very excited for her ...

The computer screens actually display the transcript of the court room proceedings as they are happening. This technology has only been applied to a very limited amount in the States from what I can gather from the remarks of my colleges. It allows the prosecutor or ...
