Barcelona, the queen and me.
I had four very relaxed days in Barcelona earlier this week. While Ron yawned his way through a Gartner symposium I shopped and walked but mostly caught up on my Dutch reading. For the record, I'm really enjoying Stahlie's Sint-Juttemis.
Our first day back in Amsterdam I was doing some shopping on the market when I saw a small crowd accompanied by media-cameras and all. The crowd was in between me and my favourit 'kassboer' so it was with some muttering and general crankiness that I decided we could live without cheese for one more day and took a judicious detour to avoid the fuss. Later I find out the queen had paid an impromptu visit to the market. Even if you're not a royalty fan thats gotta be worth a look? Up close and personal with the queen on your local market? Obviously I have a good nose for an occassion. Not!
Ron now has the flu and Jacob is getting a new tooth that if it is to be measured by his level of crankiness this morning is going to be too big to fit in his head. Dus, gezellig bij ons vanochtend!
Meanwhile it looks as though we may finally get a little bit of summer weather. Now THAT'S something to look forward too!
