Het Scheepshuys Breda

Ann took Jimmy and I for a good 1.5 hour walk around her neighbourhood. It's absolutely beautiful!! I almost didn’t feel like I was in the country to be honest.

All the homes in her neighbourhood are custom built and a lot of them are very modern looking. This also applies to the landscaping around these homes as well.

Ann’s house is also quite modest and since the last time I was here, she’s done a few upgrades, including ...

De laatste week vliegt voorbij. In tegenstelling tot de eerste paar weken, toen leek voor alles genoeg tijd te zijn. Maar sinds ons afscheidsfeestje gaat alles een stuk sneller. Er is geen tijd meer voor uitstellen en we zijn nu druk bezig de laatste punten van ons lijstje af te tikken.

Gisteren hebben we afscheid moeten nemen van onze poezen. Gelukkig hadden we dit ...

Deuxième week end en amoureux et pleins de trucs sympas.

Première chose, la boîte faisait une mini porte ouverte afin de pouvoir tester le jeu en avant première et donner ses impressions. Je ne donnerai pas de détails sur celui ci puisque nous avons signé un NDA. Nous avons donc testé toute l'aprem, c'était bien marrant et je vous invite à vous ruer sur le jeu quand il sortira.

Ensuite on se dit que l'on va chercher une pizza donc on tourne un peu à la ...

... de formulaire ou je ne sais quoi et j'ai du attendre maxi 2 min avant qu'un docteur arrive.

Bref elle me retire la tique, me demande si je veux la garder mais non je m'en passerais et en plus elle était toute déchirée la brave bête... S'en suit une explication de bien vérifier si il n'y a pas de maladie de Lyme mais je lui dit que je regarderais sur internet de quoi il en retourne ce sera plus simple :)

... arrive tel ou tel train était pris d'un fou rire énorme. Du coup toutes les minutes t'avais la petite musique comme quoi il allait parler il commence son speech et part en fou rire en un rien de temps. Bref il lui a fallu au moins 10 min pour dire que le train allait entrer en gare alors qu'il était déjà arrivé bien sur !!

M'enfin je trouve mon quai et rezou en train direction la hollande et roosendaal vers ma 2e escale. Petit arrêt en demandant rapidement où se trouve mon ...

... floats is if they worked on them year round - and we heard that they do ! The origin of Carnaval is Catholic - which is why the party is bigger below the river - its supposed to be the big party before the serious time at easter ? And a big party it is , the streets were choccer block full of smurfs & action heros , animals and fireman , everybody sharing their amazment of the incredible floats over a few not so quiet beers ! Definatly the biggest street party weve ever seen !

... both very tired today... Once again, the weather is not on our side: rain, heavy at times and 15 degrees... Apparently it was very, very nice before we came in. I guess we brought bad weather with us! We got in Breda around 8:30, but most things don't open 'til 9:30-10:00. We walked around for sometime, before deciding to stop at a little café in front of the train/bus depot. We enjoyed several coffees and a light ...

... way back by train hopefully in time for the World Cup third place game. After dropping her we came out another route and Grada showed me a lot of the area of The Hague as she used to live there. It is a lovely old city well preserved; however, it was getting a bit late to take photos. Watched the third place game for the World Cup. Germany won 3-1 over Portugal. This was okay by me as Portugal beat England a few days ago and I did not think played too honourably.

... 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 ...

... attorneys to highlight the relevant testimony of a witness, book mark it so to speak, and then go back to it when they are performing there cross examination. How nice this would be to have so that you don't have to takes notes during a trail. On either side of the courtroom are two camera operators, they tape the entire trial, also the live feed is displayed in the entrance hall of the building and on two televisions in the area that we were sitting in. This is helpful as my ...
