Summer Weather

     We've had great weather here in Holland this Summer. As I'm writing this the temperature is 30 degrees centigrade (that's 85F ) and I'm loving every minute. We haven't had as much rain this year, though a week ago it came down in buckets and one place got 4" in two days when they usually get about 22" a year. Well it happens. For the most part we're having a gorgeous summer.

Summer Travels

      Been to Utrecht, my favorite city a few more times and now have even more photos that need to be prepared for the site. On two occasions I met a few other American ladies who came over to Holland after having met their partner/spouse on-line. Hmmm...small world. I'm amazed at how many women have come here just in the last couple of years. There are various message boards on the web for people who have done just that. It's nice to meet others in the same situation and share experiences.

Here are a few of the girls that I've had the chance to meet meet.

Around Holland

       Naturally we've been to our zoo in Amersfoort a couple of more times and some of the information from there will soon be added. This little elephant was born about two years ago and his birth was broadcast live on the internet, so he's quite a celebrity!

       A new section has been added all about Kasteel de Haar all about a castle which was built in the 1300's and rebuilt 100 years ago. This castle and estate has all of the beauty you'd expect in movies from the medieval times until the present day. It's really difficult to show the true beauty of this castle, but I'll try.

Map of Netherlands

       I've been taking some on-line classes again and one of them is more about web site design. For homework we had to make an image map which is a photo or graphic with links to somewhere else. For my assignment I used a map of Holland (see above) with links to places in our Travel Section. I have decided to actually incorporate it into this site and you can get to it by clicking the photo above or    Map of Holland
