I remember...

6 days Amsterdam…
a new age bookstore/restaurant called Himalaya
where we enjoyed so many glasses of yogi tea…
the Van Gogh Museum… the Rijksmuseum,
a sunny terrace on the Leidseplein
an almost naked artist… a violin player and a guitarplayer
a boat tour on the canals
many many shops…
so much denim jackets but never the right one…
lunch outside (mussels and French fries)
a Chinese restaurant and my protesting stomach
an Indian restaurant and a table full of loud Dutch people!
And as a grand finale… a beautiful quiet hofje
where we found a small ancient church… where we lighted a candle
before we prayed our silent prayers…
Meeting my children Rick and Subhala… (wow mom… you are glowing!!!)
Visits to my friends… drinking wine and more wine… and more…
2 visits to Bergen…
a beautiful small village with so many art shops and gallery’s
An other visit…
to my mother this time… (no need to dwell on this one!)
So many trips to Alkmaar… so many…
A hospital… and my daughter Subhala… so very ill…
And the beach…
the wonderful days we’ve spend at the beach
your birthday… and a garland of flowers
About 300 (!!!) walks with Boetha
92 breakfasts, lot’s of eggs, and so many types of food…
greek salade… nasi goreng… chicken… and please
lets not forget the chocolate sprinkles…
on bread… on the peanut butter… straight from the box
and even in your coffee!!!
taco chips… pistache nuts… ice cream… olives black and green
and coke… lots of coke!

92 days… means 92 nights…
91 filled with passion… 1 with confusion and little sleep
92 days… 2208 hours…
thousands of kisses
making love… again and again…

These 3 months… were the happiest of my life!!!

That was a hell of a Summer Neeraja, I'm sorry you two couldn't continue it. I know all those places you describe here so well. I hope with all my heart you two find a solution somehow, somewhere.

Love, Titia

I would not call this a "cool" experience Julie! More a "warm" (some call it hot) experience

And no Liltai... this is not the end... it is the beginning!!!  

Thanks for your kind words Titia... we will find a way!!!  Somehow... someday...
