Well the gang is still here. We are starting to feel like locals
Sorry but dinner was late last night and I did not get to do an upload the current happenings. Dinner was a traditional Indonesian Rice Table. Not sure I would rate it as a culinary experience, but definitely an experience. People who know me know that sharing my food is very hard for me, but it was enjoyable time.

And a lot of sharing was required!
So far things are still looking good for a flight out on Thursday. We are waiting with baited breath to see if Flight 946 out of Dulles leaves today at 5:30. Janet found a little piece of home yesterday in a small town north of Amsterdam called Marken.

Marken was absolutely beautiful with small green and black houses reflecting the sun and sailboats lining the harbor.

Walking from the harbor to the village center we meander through homes neatly aligned along the canals.

No the white fluffy things in the background is not volcanic ash if you were wondering - just another beautiful day in the Netherlands.
We are getting a little slap happy so we decided to see if we count number of Dutch Animals we saw. Dutch Animals are easy to identify because they always have a hint of green near them.

Unfortunately we did not see any Dutch Dogs - Yet we saw some warnings about them.

For an uplifting experience Janet went and got a new “DO” - It amazes me how women can have such a positive transformation after a wash and cut…. Looks good!

So all is well. We are packing as if we are leaving in the morning and keeping a positive attitude
