Random things from the Netherlands




the purple place is the living room or "huiskamer"
where anyone can drop in for coffee, run by the church


Rien got his ear infection back, so he went to the doctor
and he bought medication at the pharmacy from his niece


we went to visit Arie and Marjolein


met for coffee in Naaldwijk


looked at a photo album
this is from a vacation place in the Netherlands
with a "wild water run" (wildwater baan)


would be way to dangerous (for insurance) in Canada
but so much fun


we went to the market for a bit


my sister organized an evening for cousins


that was fun too


we walkt with Rien's sister for a bit


checked out this statue made from bike parts
these bikes were fished out of the ditch in Amsterdam
15.000 come out of those ditches every year
so there is enough supply


Rien likes to swim in the North Sea


I think it's way to cold


we walked in the only forrest in our area


"Staaalduinse bos" where they still have bunkers 
from the second world war


another random thing is that we meet people we know 
in the street, this is Rien's Aunt tante Jannie


we played mexican train with my mom
