June 9-13, 2016 Netherlands

We went to Utrecht, Netherlands to visit Gary's brother Andy. Utrecht is a very quaint canal, city with lots of restaurants, nightlife, and lots and lots of bikes. Andy and Roos live in the center of town, so we can hear the partiers and church bells. Roos threw a great party so we could meet her family. We have enjoyed slowing down. We spent a lot of time just visiting at their home and the kids finished their year-end school project, a video of the highlights of the past 2 years of travel.

In Amsterdam we toured the city on a canal boat, which really is a good way to take in the sights. Next to the train station there is a 3 story bike garage that is completely filled. We went to the Van Gogh museum, but Axel preferred the free ping pong in the park more than the museum.

Probably the most amazing thing about Holland is the number of bikes and how everyone is such a good rider. Now on to Canada to visit my family, then home to San Diego.

Cheers,

Julie
