Dutch-Strand English-Beach
The weather here is fantastisch!!!! Sunny, warm, blue sky I did not think it was possible here. Quite a change from the long fall/winter gray. Olivia and I are deciding which strand we will visit tomorrow. There is a man made lake in a village called Eersel, which is very near our home. There is also a place called Aqua Best in northern Eindhoven. I think it is also a man made lake but, it has more of an amusement park option, kind of a waterpark. That may be more fun to do when Matt can join us. If we are up and going and feeling adventurous we may even head to the sea. Olivia seems to think we need Matt for that but, I am quite certain that us girls could pull it off. It may just not go as smoothly as it would with her Daddy!!!
We drove Matt to the Eindhoven airport today. It reminded me of the HHH terminal in Msp. He flew on a European airline called Ryan Air. When he called me he said, "Getting on a Ryan Air flight reminds me of getting on a bus in Mexico!" Those of you who have been on a bus in Mexico will appreciate that statement and understand why we may become loyal Northwest/KLM travelers! He also called when he got to his hotel and assured me that we are not missing anything by not coming along to Italy on this trip by telling me that the view from his hotel window is of a nuclear power plant. For all I know he was just being sweet and he is sipping a fine Italian wine on a balcony overlooking the Mediterranean sea!!!! Ahhh, gotta love him.
Olivia's knee is healing nicely, although she refuses to put a bandage on it. The thought of taking it off leaves her desperately pleading, "No mama, please don't make me. I am NOT going to put ANYTHING on it again!" Matt and I had to literally hold her down to take off a bandage that was about to start growing skin on it. Apparently it was a little too traumatic for her, kind of like Tony's fear of sliver removal:)
I am going to get to bed, big day navigating the dutch motorway tomorrow! GoedeNacht!
