Koffie, krokets, and koffiebroodjes!

Our trip to Holland was wonderful! The city of Amsterdam is absolutely beautiful, with all of the canals and bridges. The houses are so neat as well. Putten, actually where my grandfather lived, is incredible. The most charming small town with endearing little houses and well-kept yards (amazingly so!). Being in Holland has really made me miss my grandmother, and my grandfather. I love Holland. Everything is so green in the country side, and a lot of horses too actually. I can't possibly write down all the interesting things we did (Anne Frank Huis). Anyway. We're just in Bremen right now visiting Robyns' family. It is so incredibly nice to have home cooked meals again, and sleep in my own room without anyone snoring! I can't describe how wonderful it is. Rudolph and Renate are so very wonderful, kind, so accommodating, and lovely to visit with. We are both very thankful they've made time to show us around their area and spend time with us. Went to the harbor today, saw the immigration museum. Quite interesting, Robyn had family that emigrated from there. Picked up fresh fish and Renate and Rudolph may a wonderful dinner. Germany is also incredibly green, beautiful, and no mosquitoes! We are so happy to be here. And next, Auschwitz. Blog again soon.
