Out of the house at 4:50. That's AM to take Dan and Sue to Schipol Airport. About 45 minutes later we deliver them at the curb to the KLM area and say goodbye. We had a really good time with them and we're so happy that we still like each other. Maybe again sometime.
By 6:15 we were back in bed. And then, nothing happened. A little breakfast of eggs mixed with leftovers from the night before and we walk to town for an espresso at de Lindenhof and sit on their big cushiony chairs outside and watch people come and go. We walk around looking for contact lens cleaner and window shopping. We're surprised that there are so many shops open on a Monday. Not all, but many. We buy some fish and shrimp at the fish shop and have a nice conversation with the guy behind the counter who served us last week. He puts together three pieces of salmon wrapped in plaice with some spices for Linda. I buy an International Times-Herald and Financial Times at the shop down the street.
When we arrive back at the house, Linda walks over to the windmill and I sit in the back garden and read my papers. The wind picks up a little and makes it just cool enough to force me inside.
Dinner is our fish and we watch a little TV and read. Just before we go to bed we get an email from Dan telling us that they have arrived in Tampa. Everyone is safe and sound. Their trip is over - we have a little less than a month to go. Janie and Dan are due on Thursday.
