Did some shopping and sightseeing in the city where Rosa was Born, went to school and where her mother went to school.












Day 6 - Things that I have gleaned...

Mustard Soup is outstanding. Rosa's Mother prepared some for us two nights ago and it was delicious. The base is made of Leeks and onions.

There are large country wide sales the week before we came.

LaChouffe on tap is much better than from the bottle.

Pregnant Dutch women ride their bikes until D-Day. I thought it would be too traumatic, but i guess it makes the kids stronger?

Cannabis starter kits are given away with tulip bulbs at the flower market in Amsterdam.

Shops close promptly at 6 pm.

15% tip is considered generous.

Gas is $9 per gallon!!!!!

Thanks for the pictures. We are beginning to know your family, Rosa. Congratulations to Ruben! You two look so beautiful(Rosa) and handsome(Andrew), and happy. :>) You are so lucky to have the grandmothers sharing in the happy successful of their grandchildren.

I want to hear about the "wall" when we talk or visit in October.

Love you both.

We are enjoying all the pictures. What a beautiful trip on the canals. The towns and cities have so much character. Loved seeing the bicycle racks. Must be great be able to bicycle in town.

Much Love,
MOM
