GOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL!!!!!

To all those thinking this is a post about football/voetbal/soccer I apologize in advance.  This is a post about my desire to hit all 12 provinces of the Netherlands.  I know you are thinking, “But the Netherlands is so small that shouldn’t be a problem”, well you are right; the Netherlands IS small but like [...]

I’s done gone to da south!

South Limburg that is!  HAHA!! Oh I crack me up I do! 

OK… SO…. after getting up at 6am, packing up lunches, saying goodbye to Stoney and hoping he doesn’t kill the cat while we are gone, we jump on our bikes to get to the train station for 7:34 to head to Valkenburg for the [...]

More then just fish

A few days ago (yes I know I’m behind in the blogging), we headed back to Spakenburg.  This time around we took Stoney with us.  I think he’s starting to really enjoy the rides now since he isn’t as tense in the basket, also he moves a little more when he sees things that he [...]

Another train ride and 6 months to stay…

Needless to say I have the bike route memorized to the train station.  On Wednesday Frank and I had another little trip to take, this time to Zwolle.  I really don’t know much about this city except that the IND is located there.  Granted, Amersfoort is located in the province of Utrecht, and the city [...]

Gouda – Yes as in the cheese.

Around the Town

On the weekend Frank and I went into the city to go to the market and to do some shopping.  On the way there since we were kid free and dog free, I was able to stop a little more to take some pictures.  
This is a picture of the outer wall of the city.  Amersfoort [...]

Happy Birthday to ME!

Well this is the first birthday I have spent either outside of Canada or away from my family.  Even living in Toronto/Mississauga/Oakville I still came home for my b-day.  *sob*
Frank put up balloons this morning before I got up, and the kids each bought me  gift.  We’ll have cake today and a nice meal at [...]

I think Frank is slowing trying to kill me….

We went for another bike ride today…yup…can no longer feel my left butt cheek.  Nor can I feel my right hand, so please excuse any typos that may occur.  My legs feel like jello, my back is stiff, and my allergies went haywire on the ride home… BUT MAN DID WE HAVE A GREAT DAY!!! [...]
