2018.12.02 Classic cars exhibition
During our daily walk, we bumped into some kind of exhibition of old cars. They were standing in a parking lot, so we were not sure it was meant as an exhibition, but it was great to see all these classic models anyway. We even saw a car with a Dutch sign on it! It … Read more
2018.11.19 Daily walk
One of the things I miss in Spain is seeing the autumn colors of the leaves. The trees have either green leaves or no leaves. Here in the Netherlands this summer has been too dry and the changing of seasons was too abrupt, so the leaves are not as sparkling yellow as I was used … Read more

Blue sky, sun, not too warm (29C), a little bit of wind. I … Read more
2018.09.15 Tormentas
The Philippines is plagued by typhoon Mangkhut. The Carolinas are battered by tropical storm Florence. And we? We were vast asleep. Most of the time during the night. Sometimes we woke up because of the heavy rains. But we’re from the Netherlands. So we don’t care. Over there it always rains. Only when we took … Read more
