we went for dinner at Popo, a Mexican restaurant in Haarlem last week. we enjoyed a good meal and, even better, great service! the waiter heard us speaking and asked if we were English. vlbf Peter said "no, i'm Dutch" but the waiter continued to speak to us in English. i thought that was so nice and considerate! and a nice change for me to understand what was going on and not have to wait for vlbf to translate! i think Haarlam is a beautiful city, with lots of character, winding cobblestone streets, and interesting little shops.

Haarlem at Night
the weather here still amazes me! it can change literally every 15 minutes, and you can easily get all 4 seasons in an hour. this morning we had snow, thunder, rain and beautiful sunshine before 11 am.
