Going Dutch...

During our trip to Holland we visited the past as well, and in Volendam, one of Holland's most touristic cities, we fitted some traditional Dutch clothes that have long since gone out of fashion... Except of course in Volendam! So this is what our family would have looked like if we had lived a hundred years ago :)...(You can click on the picture for a larger version).

We had such a great holiday in Holland visiting our family & friends. After the summer school in Groesbeek, we had an opportunity to spend some quality time with oma Ineke, Jorrit, Molouk, Nadim, Minou & baby Kian. During our last week and a half we drove around the country to visit some of our friends, & did some sightseeing and shopping as well. We really enjoyed spending time in Voorhout with Marc, Nancy & Guilia, Amsterdam with Nushin, Ruben, Mutaleni & Naomi, & Bunnik with Naghmeh, Maurice, Lua & Isa.

Mahasti, Rob & Dan, also from Bunnik, were so generous as to let us stay in their house while they were away for holiday themselves, & we used our time there to meet up with other friends such as Shirin with her two children Matthijs & Alexander, Nawid, Ramin, Cathelijne & Norah, & Arjan, Maartje, Yves & Quint. During the last few days, we visited our families in Lelystad & Velp.

A BIG THANK YOU to everyone, it was so wonderful to see you all again & without you this holiday wouldn't have been the same. Unfortunately, we were not able to visit everyone we wanted to, but we hope to see you during our next trip ;).
