I haven't been here for quite a while 5 or 6 years. Last time I was here was a sprint - 3 days - to be here for the launch of the Heartbeat youth church that my friend Henk started.
I have been here many times and always enjoy it. This is the first time in all of my visits that there is rain.
Chris and Eliza were going to come with me and stay the weekend, but some paperwork issues with the Spanish immigration office turned up and we made a safe decision for them to stay in Spain. Eliza was also possibly exposed to the chicken pox last week at a birthday party so we are watching for spots, and would prefer not to travel if that is the case.
I will not stay the weekend this trip is all business.
I arrived after 9 last night and had a good dinner at the hotel. Funny though the Dutch are the tallest people on the planet but the shrimp are tiny! How do these guys get so tall eating so small? This is a photo of my starter last night the "Dutch Shrimp" They were actually quite good, but tiny! 
I like working with the Dutch guys they are straightforward, and they tell you the truth. So I should have known shrimp means shrimp. There was another option a hot starter JUMBO Shrimp although a contradiction I may have missed out on the biggest shrimp ever.

Why we are so tall? Thanks to our 'broodje frikadel'! Tried one this time already? And no moster, but mayoinaisse!!
Too bad we can't meet this weekend.

Happy 4th of July...
Do you still celebrate that even though your in another country?
Anyway, bummer about the chicken pox. Perhaps the next trip will be better suited.
Lots of love
Andrea, Jason & Alex
