Un-American and Amsterdam
It was strange, not hearing the fireworks and smelling the barbeque this year when the fourth but it is all right. Happy Fourth of July my fellow Americans! Well, belated but you will forgive me wont you? We lost power in the house last night and it can be quite a challenge to write on a computer in such circumstances! This is where my father would say it is totally un-American to work on the Fourth of July! He loves that saying, trust me! Seeing as I am in Holland I am not about to get time off for an American holiday. Totally un-American of me! Hah!
I am preparing for my second run to Amsterdam tomorrow. I have detailed directions! These directions are so detailed its sick! I went to www.9292ov.nl and there I printed out directions. What train to take, what tram to take and I even have what stop both make and which stop is mine and finally, I remembered to write down the building number! Help me if I forget the directions on the desk! I hate missing a day of work but what can I do about it really, I NEED this piece of paper! I then HAVE to send it to Albany. All so I can marry. Darn good reason if you ask me!
I am going to end this with an interesting note. There was blog I read yesterday before the power went out that I thought to share. It’s from Adrien, a fellow 451press writer, it was an interesting read in deed!
worldly chatter, Amsterdam, weddings, 4th of July
