Friday, August 23

Janie and Dan get up early to finish their packing. They weigh their bags and have to redistribute to get the bags under the 50 lb. limit. Jose and Hans drop by to say goodbye and bring them a gift. Then we're out the door to Schipol Airport. We unload the car, hug and kiss and tell them how much we enjoyed their visit. And Linda and Janie cry as they say goodbye. 

 We drive back to the house and do a few chores: washing of bedsheets, vacuuming, dusting, etc. After that, Linda comes up with a great idea: let's get a massage. We jump into the car and drive over to the other end of town to our Thai massage girls. Last year we let them work on us every Sunday. They're still there and remembered us. We both get an hour massage at the same time, side by side. Good, good, good.

I take Linda back to the house to take a nap, which she doesn't, and I walk down to Jon Mets to have an espresso. Sitting outside on one of  the big couches watching the people go by. Linda had already purchased a schnitzel for me to have for dinner. I bought her a piece of white fish wrapped around a piece of salmon at the fish shop. I also discovered Action which is a store down a narrow walkway off the main street. Its like a mini-Target. They have got great prices for household  products, school supplies, auto supplies, and clothes. Its amazing that it has taken us more than two years to find this place. Dan Dodds found it and told us we needed to go there.

After dinner we watch the BBC 2 show called Pointless which Janie never got to see when she was here. She wanted to but it didn't happen. Then we watched Mel Gibson in the Patriot and that took us to midnight. A rather slow but relaxing day.
