Kings day

We are ready to hit the streets of Amsterdam on Kings day.  Everywhere we look, people are dressed just like us if not more extreme!

Driving with Herman and Mattie

What a wonderful day exploring today.  Hope I get all the right descriptions with the right pictures.

Dinner

Mattie and Herman arranged a dinner with the whole family last night.  The company was awesome and the food".......I had a feast!  Mussels, shrimp,fish, and cucumber salad.  All cooked especially for you.  What a meal!

Those young lads were hokey players.  So young and really put effort into speaking English to us.  Amazing!  They say it takes a special woman to raise three boys.  They have one!
