We're still anxiously awaiting the delivery of our shipment. It's been in Rotterdam for over a month now, just waiting to clear customs. Although we do have a washer and dryer, we're getting tired of our clothes,and want our own pillows! Hopefully this week.
We bought a 6 yr. old Mitsubisi space Star, and Fred can now stretch out his legs. I finally drove (stick-shift...AUGHH!!) to school one day last week. We drove to The Hague (only 10 minutes) and saw some incredible sand sculptures downtown in a park. It's a very managable city, with a great beach.
Yesterday we went to an open-air museum in Arnhem and then walked around Apeldoorn. (Never did find the monkey zoo, forgot the book and didn't know how to say monkey in Dutch!) the market was great there though. Fred bought me 5 dozen apricot colored roses for 5 Euros at the end of the market time! Everyone holds up herring by the tail and just bites! (raw!) I had to try it, but won't stand in line for more.
Open house is this Thursday night at school. My class is really a dream, 17 kids (8 girls) mostly American, but 5 Swedish and 1 Dutch/English. Most surprising of all...ALL of my kids have the same last name as their parents. (No divorces, none of the usual U.S. public school name problems)
