I told Yvonne that I am going with them, in spirit that is, and she'd better watch out I might eat her food, hahaha!
This morning I called my brother Nic's place where they were in the middle of a welcoming party. They put me on the speaker phone and all I heard was a lot of excited voices. Quite a few people speak English well, so there was not much of a language barrier. My older brother does not know one word of English so I am sure he just smiled at Jason. Yvonne can help herself very well in Dutch. I am very happy for Yvonne and Jason, so much planning went into this trip and that they were welcomed so heartily, warmed my heart.
I still remember when Yvonne and I went together four years ago. I have a large family who love to get together to have fun and eat. (and fight!). Yvonne so much wants to show Jason where her roots are, and he finally finds out what his mother-in-law is made of, after this trip he may find me not that odd after all, hahaha!
Apparently they made lots of pictures already and since they'll be doing a lot of sight seeing tomorrow I am sure, their new camera will be used extensively.
On the right panel of this page you find:, Other sights I enjoy, click on the "Grote Markt in Haarlem", since that is live on webcam, you might find them wandering around!

Thanks for the update Trudy ! I don't know if Jason is aware of the fact that his great grandmother on my side also had dutch blood though I don't know the full history. Her maiden name was Knapp, and someone once told me that was dutch.
Anyway, I am so happy they are getting to live their dream.
That is interesting Nancy, mind you Knapp with double P might also be German. You might trace it on the net.
Right now I am checking their weather, seems to be only cloudy so far, for sight seeing you want it to be dry. If and when I hear more, I will let you know. Did you noticed I wrote you on MSN?
Love
Well I'm not sure about the spelling to tell you the truth and there are not many alive to ask , but I will try to find out . Anyway, yes I noticed your message and you were right , I was on my lunch taking Zoe out.
I just went on the web camera and it must be the middle of the night because, though it looked beautiful there were no humans present. I will check again tomorrow. I'm so glad Jason is enjoying himself so much. I can hardly wait until the pictures start arriving here.
Way to go with the scooter !!
