So wonderful to be back! From the moment we landed, reminders all around that this place is
home (though, such lucky people we are, not our only one).
 |
At Schiphol, an ad for a new museum created by a good friend of ours. (And yet, embarrassingly, we didn't manage to get there.) |
 |
Settle in, get a celebratory drink, then, before we've time to wonder what we should do first, we run into Frank... |
 |
He's on his way to the end-of-school-year party in the park next door... |
 |
Where we meet more of our friends, including Felix and Gid's babysitter for the evening... |
 |
Which frees us to go see another friend for dinner at the Rijksmuseum. |
 |
Super travelers, they slept on the floor for a week without complaint. |
 |
Felt like a gamble, but Felix on his own bike worked out very well. |
 |
Our first herring, very much not our last. |
 |
Cheese, how I miss you! |
 |
Kindereggs, how I don't miss you! |
 |
Schoolyard art. |
 |
Morning cocoa. |
 |
Visiting an Autodesk-supported project: 3D printing in metal using robots. |
 |
Latest model automat: big screen, electronic push-button, otherwise unchanged. |
 |
Cosmic Wimpout across Europe! |
 |
With old friends. |
 |
A little playground detour on the way home. |
 |
Does it get better than this? |
 |
He's gotten so big! |
 |
Don't forget, that's where the keys are. |
 |
Herring! |
 |
The Milkmaid |
 |
Breakfast on a boat. |
 |
And then some boat travel in the canals. |
 |
More cool playground equipment. |
 |
Time again for HEMA worst. |
 |
Yes! |
 |
Gid too. |
 |
Lots to see out the window. |
 |
At our favorite restaurant. |
And in between all this we took off for a weekend in Broek in Waterland, to celebrate the marriage and life of two very dear friends. A fantastic event and a great excuse to visit this wonderful village (where we ourselves were married) again.
Thank you, Dutchies, for your adventures, your hospitality, and your wonderful country. We'll be back, soon.
