Today it rained non stop until about 3. But somehow it just gives more romantic atmosphere to Amsterdam. We walked around a bit to find a coffee shop for breakfast.


After breakfast we packed up and walked to the rental car office.

We had a few problems with the rental car process but eventually we were on the road out of Amsterdam.


Tonight we are staying in a former church in the tiny town of Reitsum in Friesland. One of my immigrant ancestors, Hendrick Epke Banta was born not far from here in 1655. It is absolutely beautiful country.




This trip has been one lovely place after another with delicious food and nice people. I’m loving your reports.
have you heard from Roger and Gayle? I feel like I know them in spite of never meeting them. All the news coming out of the mountains around Asheville and from Asheville itself is catastrophic.
