This is my last day in Holland. The weather is getting hotter, more like a June day in Virginia. They are making hay, something that isn't happening at home since it is so hot and dry but here it feels familiar. The Dutch are melting and I am smiling.
Holland is in the World Cup and while their flag is red, white and blue there is Orange everywhere! That's because the Queen's name is Beatrix Van Oranje-Nassau, so the color orange is on buildings (entire buildings!) clothing, awnings, flags and more. They won last night which is a good thing. I cannot imagine what would happen if they lost!
Dinner last night was another wonderful meal (Angele my chef this time) with mint pesto for dessert with Ben and Jerry's raspberry/mango sorbet and fresh cherries! This mornings breakfast was cottage cheese with fresh raspberries. I am getting spoiled.
Heading home tomorrow. Looks like the heat will break a little before I get there - only 80's for a high instead of 90's. But no rain in sight. Might be feeding hay to the horses before long but the fatties have plenty to live on for now.
