70 in het park!


Het sarphatipark is achter de plek waar wij eerst woonde... bij dat beeld van hazes. Als je met de auto komt parkeer dan lekker bij ons en loop naar het park (ongeveer 10 minuten) en als je met de tram komt, neem dan 3 of 25. Die stoppen allebei direct voor het park op de ceintuurbaan.

Tot in het park! We hebben een oranje partytent!

Queensday 2009 - double vision

If good times and good weather could make bad things go away...it should have happened today. An attempt on the lives of the royal family has claimed 5 souls and left 12 heavily wounded. This is why reflecting on today is resulting in my double vision... On the one hand Anna and Elsa have been the perfect companions in an amazingly relaxing promenade in an orange amsterdam. We got our picture taken with prins Bernhard and I got my portrait drawn by the amazing Stanley!


The day was going fine, until I started to hear from people that something bad had happened with the royal bus around noon. My mother filled in the blanks by mobile. The weird thing is that we were so drawn into the great vibe of the orange party that we chose not to react to the news. Once we were home the news really hit me straight between the eyes...right into the heart. My thoughts go out to the victms of this Freakishly Weird event. My vision will be double for a while....
