Surgery

Surgery

I just had surgery on my right foot.  I had an 2 toes amputated.  It has kept me from doing just normal things not to mention traveling.  I should be all right by the end of the year.  We have a cruise lined up in April.  Let's see if all go's right with recuperation.

Our European trip, 2017

    In 2017 we took a trip to Europe. We went with mi wife's brother and his family.   We mainly hung around The Netherlands, Holland.  We like staying in Bungalows.  In Holland they are everywhere.  They are very economical. They usually have 1-2-3 bedrooms, with bathrooms & kitchen  We liked going to town and buying groceries and eating there.  We would go out usually at lunch with dinner occasionally.   
    We went to museums a lot.  The mauritshuis, a museum in Den Hague.  It had a lot of great paintings from the Dutch Masters.  It was 14,00 EUR at the time that we went.  If you like art, you will love this.  


      We went to Amsterdam.  I use to not like it there, but the last couple of times that I went to Holland I really enjoyed it.  Ann Franks house is there.  The canal rides are fun. The food is really good.  There are a lot of goings on, going on.  It is rich in history.  If you love antiques, it's a great place for you!

    We love going to Delft.  If you ever see the pottery from Holland, Delft Blue, this is where most of it comes from.  It's a nice place to visit.  Also, the Old & New Church are there.  The Royalty is buried in the New Church.  


    Of course there is the touristy place that we stayed in.  We stayed in Volendom!  It use to be a fishing village.  


    We loved going to Geithorn.. You rent boats that you drive yourself.  The town was dependent on that way of life years ago.


    We went to the war museum in Overloon:  This is where they had a major battle in WWII.  They have a great collection of restored equipment there.
