On Friday we took a cross-country train from Berlin to Haarlem for a weekend in the Netherlands. We visited Amsterdam on Saturday, when it rained allll day. It’s an interesting (and quite beautiful!) city, but with all the partying, not really our style. It didn’t help that we came back to our B&B soaking wet! Today was much sunnier, so we rented bikes and roamed from Haarlem to the coast, down the beach and through farmland and beech forests to the famous tulip fields – empty now that it’s August, but in a gorgeous landscape. A gorgeous sunset over the canal in front of our B&B is a high note to our time here, and tomorrow it’s off to Belgium!

since bikes are running like a scheme thru your travel adventures we will have to take you on a bike ride to the cheese stand at the farmers market in Siegburg on Friday morning!
I love the side street in Haarlem – so pretty! Did you go to the Reiksmuseum to see the Rembrandts? And in Amsterdam, I remember photos of the markets – cheeses piled high on pallets, etc. The photos are from my childhood – I imagine things have changed a bit! I guess I need to take a trip!
Have fun riding bikes with Dorothee and Stephan on Friday sounds like fun!
love,
your mom

The clouds in Meg’s photo are magnificent! I’m so happy to get your pictures and messages. Wish I could travel a little more and I’m thinking about it. Such a great honeymoon! Enjoy! Love GRAM/Nstalie
