It's such good exercise for the soul! I know that the meal times are your cup of tea. I always think about what YOU would do. :) I'm sure you know by now that the Dutch architecture takes my breath away. All of it has seeped into my subconscious and conscious, both.Ginnie Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014434422568561157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-24273737668778402962011-02-23T12:27:50.556+01:002011-02-23T12:27:50.556+01:00Walking to Rome!

Just last evening we were talking at dinner with Peter and Andrea about biking around Michigan, like the one from Lansing to Mackinac Island.<br /><br />The fish sandwich sound delicious! Those meals stopped for are maybe the best part of traveling for me. :)<br /><br />The age and prolific volume of bricks in these buildings just astonishes me. Don't you love that pile of logs!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-71471801126099698102011-02-22T07:50:46.934+01:002011-02-22T07:50:46.934+01:00Tim: You're a sweetheart to say so.

Not to say there aren't parts of me that aren't seen as sensational. :D<br /><br />I had no clue those ancient grave sites existed in The Netherlands till this trip. Color me surprised. I feel lucky to have seen them!<br /><br /><b>Margaret:</b> As you know by now, it was a tad over 600 but once I went through them, I was able to delete half of them. That's what I love about digital photography. We have the luxury of taking more than we need, knowing we can pick-n-choose the best and throw the rest away. :)Ginnie Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014434422568561157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-73965771143990877422011-02-22T05:45:27.107+01:002011-02-22T05:45:27.107+01:00A path to Rome...

As I often say, this is more for US, Astrid and me, to keep as a running commentary on all our travels. If I don't stay on top of it all, it'll get lost by the wayside. So THANK YOU. Having said that, I'd love to do a photo hunt with you. I have a feeling we'd have a great time 'seeing' things.<br /><br />I actually DO believe in a past life and often say I can remember what something feels like, even with never experiencing it yet in this life. Why not! :)<br /><br /><b>Astrid:</b> I love your sense of humor. HA! You know that you always make me laugh. I'm sure the stones <i>were</i> bigger back when you were 10, Nicholas' age. :) It has been so soulful doing these anniversary posts. And rightly so. It was an experience of a lifetime. Thank you again and again.<br /><br /><b>WS:</b> You're not late at all, Susan! HA! I just posted this less than 24 hours ago. :) As always, thanks for celebrating with us and wishing us more loving years to come.Ginnie Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014434422568561157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-34974497453065459882011-02-18T05:47:57.277+01:002011-02-18T05:47:57.277+01:00Well, it looks like I am a little late to the part...Well, it looks like I am a little late to the party, not the first time!<br /> But my heart fills with joy for both of you ...

I'm a BIG fan of your photography and some of the images in this post particularly strike me as marvelous... the facade of Lady Justice without her blindfold (too lazy to find the punctuation mark for the c in facade)... the image of the café jutting right out over the water... the windmill and church you found near Rolde, the ancient burial sites and the 'cloud of witnesses' are all especially appealing... as for the burial sites... I'm absolutely fascinated by ancient stone and have so much appreciation for such things that I think I must have been an archaeologist or geologist in a past life (not really believing in such things) or that (if such things exist in our realm) I will be one or the other in a future incarnation!<br /><br />I look forward to the end of the story on Monday! :-)Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12170129859014155605noreply@blogger.com
