Last week Sarah and I had a week off from school for Eid AlKhbir (comparable to Christmas). Our adventure for the week...Belgium and Amsterdam!
We flew into Brussels on Tuesday, spent the afternoon walking around, then headed to Lueven to stay with friends of Sarah's. Wednesday we went out for coffee in Lueven, then headed for Amsterdam. Short detour along the way...Antwerp. After some shopping, waffles, and a few pictures, we were back on the train to Amsterdam. It was crazy how much the Netherlands reminded me of Holland, MI. Although Thursday was overcast and a bit rainy, we had a wonderful day. One of my favorite parts was touring the Anne Frank house. It was really interesting to see the secret bookcase and the rooms where her family had been hiding. We finished up sightseeing and shopping on Friday and headed back to Lueven. Detour #2...Brugge...quaint, medieval city already decorated for Christmas! Relaxing Saturday...saw Sinterclause and Black Pete...served spaghetti at the kids' school...and went to bed. Sunday we journeyed back to Casa, rested and ready to go!
