Many years ago I taught at Mill Creek Elementary in Edmonton, on, of course, Mill Creek. There is another one you can add to your collection hehe.
3 years agoReally sorry to hear about dog issues. Definitely one of the reasons we like cycling outside US.
Good luck on back recovery.
We are adopting your weather aware strategy in departure. It has been raining heavily with strong winds all morning. We are going to a late breakfast and then checking out. I've never left at noon on a 67 mile day, today I will! I hope the day will go well with a full stomach. I"m thinking an omelet instead of oatmeal?
I have occasional back pain. I had some issues at the beginning of the school year, too much time in the bus seat. I discovered if I ride a minimum of ten miles a day, that kept the pain away. I'm happy to hear riding helped loosen up Rachael's back also!
No question. This one rules. If you’re lucky it might even have some resident ghosts! :)
3 years agoI wouldn't endorse those boots either. But I would endorse your limerick.
3 years agoOoh! Scary dog story! I’m glad you both came out of it ok.
3 years agoFlat? Oh, dear. That is a disappointment. Fortunately we’ll only be there for a week though before moving on to the Rhenish Alps.
3 years agoYes, those boots! That was the tipoff for us. Once I noticed those I was sure this was no zebra.
3 years agoRegarding Dutch cuisine, we found pannekoeken restaurants were often surprisingly good for lunch, and the coffee machines at breakfast in hotel restaurants produced excellent brews. You'll probably find the Netherlands excruciatingly flat. You may need to find strong headwinds to compensate. :)
3 years agoI’m waiting for an ID by Bill Shaneyfelt.
3 years agoBeautiful place!
3 years agoAin't no breakfast like Second Breakfast!
3 years agoA zebra turned into a horse?!
Why, no! That can't happen, of course!
Then what's going on?
Foreleg boots from Milan?!
Not a purchase that I would endorse!
Ahh...Dutch cuisine
From an Americans point of view: potatoes with just about anything mashed into them, and Brats. They like "Chinese" but it's really Indonesia more than Chinese. Sandwiches for lunch: everything (meat, cheese, bread) is on the table....and take a piece of bread and place ONE item on it....not like a subway sandwich. (Rachel did a sandwich placing meat and cheese and looked up to see all Patrick's family looking at her). If you have a banana split, start eating at one end of the dish and eat to the other side, don't mix it up :)
Beer! Trappist Beer!
Chocolate! (Dutch are number one chocolate eaters)
Bread!

And I’ll bet you thought tan was the only one, at the time. Sorry to burst your bubble.
