. . . or maybe more like a revolving door.
Graham and Laura left Holland for London on Thursday morning, and immediately after saying goodbye, Ross boarded a train to Amsterdam and met up with some other familiar faces. I joined later on, after work. This is what happens when you move to a foreign country; you become very popular!
First, Laura & Graham: The remainder of their holiday consisted of using our apartment as base and making day trips to different parts of the country. They even went to a few places that Ross & I haven't been yet, like Haarlem and Dordrecht (where Graham's father was born.) In the evenings when I was finished work and Ross was finished school we'd hang out on as many patios as possible.
This is precisely why I think Holland is such a great place to visit. There is so much to see in such a small area, (big-little country) that you don't spend a lot of time getting around, and day trips are cheap and fast.
They had a great time, as did we. We even persuaded the non-beer drinking Graham to have a Belgian beer. Is it still considered peer pressure if you know it's for the best?
And then on to the other travelers:
Our former Emily Carr profs Clément Vincent and Paul Mazzucca are currently leading a gathering of ECI (oops, I mean ECU) around on a Euro-trip. They started in Amsterdam and are working their way south to end in Paris. Aside from Clément, Paul and Paul's wife Caroline, Ginger and Chloe were the other familiar faces in the crowd
We went for very good Indonesian, and otherwise just hung out for the day. Fun, fun.
