Hospitality in The Netherlands

We are currently in Strasbourg, France with our friends Jeff and Ilona. We arrived here on Sunday the 9th at 12:15 AM and are due in Florence, Italy on the 15th to rejoin Julita and Ryan.

Our time in The Netherlands over the last week was incredible. We spent time in Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Den Haag, Delft, Scheveningen and Brielle. We will truly miss the family that we stayed with. Erik, Gosia, Eva, Daniel and Elja were the greatest hosts that we could have asked for. They really gave us the full Holland experience. We ate many bags of stroop waffles (waffles with caramel like syrup), poffertjes (little Dutch pancakes), Herring, and large pancakes with bacon and cheese cooked into the pancake! All were delicious and nutritious. We saw the massive windmills, the extensive water systems, and the biker friendly cities throughout Holland. We can't wait to go back and visit already. Dank u wel (thank you in Dutch) to all of you guys who gave us such a wonderful experience that we will not soon forget.

I hope everyone is doing well. We are healthy and happy and awaiting more adventures,
