Saturday, August 10

Saturday is shopping day all over the world and so it is here too. Sue stayed at the house to clean up and Dan, Linda, and I started down the street for breakfast and some shopping for Sunday. We only get down to #11 and come across Hans and Jose standing outside. We talk and Hans and Dan discuss the bad condition of the large pine tree in the front yard. Then, it was time to show Dan Hans' fossil collection both inside and outside the house. In the back is a lovely Zen garden with very large rocks and shrubbery and running water that they have been building for years. So that took awhile.

Then it was breakfast at the Verkley, wine at the chocolatier, vegetables at Lidl and meat at the butcher. All of these places had long lines except the wine shop. All the working people must have been stocking up for the week. Sue wondered what happened to us.

Then we checked the train schedule and were off to Amsterdam. We got into a funny conversation with the train conductor who checks your tickets. He was trying to teach us some Dutch and we were failing miserably. But, we all laughed and laughed with each other. We don't remember anything about Amsterdam, but we know we had a good time.
