9 May 2009

The day seemed to be warm out there. But it was chilly. No matter. We stepped into the car and drove away from the house, out of the area, the city and up to Amersfort. It’s a nice city to look at but we didn’t stop. Then we found the shop. Stopped and went inside. Found the big guy in blue. Wow! It’s huge and looked ugly. I said. Not this dark blue please.  Wil said, no, not this one. The other one is better. I guess he was going to consider the other BIG GUY.

We left and dropped by a smaller town/village called Hoogland. I found a beautiful furniture and decor shop. We went inside and browsed through the whole shop till we forgot that it was already late.

We bought a few gifts and left the place.

Now, driving back to Amsterdam for another hour. We reached our friend’s house in Zaandam around 5.00 pm. It was their son’s birthday and their little apartment was full with their family and relatives. Wil joined some men outside and I joined Denna in the kitchen.

They cooked delicious Indonesian food. I ate as if it’s nobody’s business. There were cakes and also dessert to fill the belly of all the people there.

It was a fun day especially to be able to speak my own lingo from my own hometown. Thanks for the hospitality D & D.
