So back from Maastricht for a lovely weekend of shopping, waffles, and museums…
I’ve never before taken so many pictures on a 1.5 day holiday (McTravelling again).
was short, but great! highlight was being attacked by a flying mousetrap…Loud pop followed by a mouse trap hitting my head and falling into my hoody…followed by 60 year old dutch woman (sans bra) explaining that they “are sorry, and just wanted to see how it worked”. Even the old Dutch people speak perfect english…annoying 😉
I think they were part of a nordic walking club…even nordic walking has made it’s way to the hinterlands…or maybe they invented it there…
still trying to figure out all the names…Holland, The Netherlands…why are they called “Dutch”…sounds like I’ll have to research…
any other countries that start with “The”?
Finally have a working bike…as I mentioned about 6 months ago, the bike I bought broke…we ordered replacement parts…but they sent the wrong ones…now they sent half the correct parts, so I just bought a used bike to get me through short term, cuz fixing mine might take years…
am sort of excited to attempt a bike ride to work tomorrow…It’s supposed to rain…
my boss asked me 2 minutes before i was leaving work on Friday if I would consider moving to Italy…immediately said of course (I’ll try anything once…)…Small town on the coast near Pisa…tourist town, but nice weather year round. Good work situation. am now considering this seriously…not sure how serious he was though…I’ll report it here first…stay tuned. 🙂
