Canal Tours... Ahoy!

Hallo allemaal!

Last night was my darling mother's birthday. This would be the first birthday she has had in her home country for over 20 years, so yeah, it was a big deal. Virtually all of our immediate family and close friends came over to celebrate. It was a grand ole time. I saw my cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. Lots of food, a delicious cake and many beverages were consumed, but as many of you would concur, a good party consists of nothing less. Anyhow, that's all for yesterday's headline.

Today I had the wonderful opportunity to take a, nay TWO, canal tours of my birth city Amersfoort. Twas an extremely educational experience. For instance, did you know that as a result of the over 100 different forms of plant life growing on the canal, Amersfoort is known to be the greenest city in the Netherlands, and all of Europe. It even won an award for it! *proud tear* I bet you didn't know that. Nor did I, so don't feel too badly.

The most unfortunate thing happened today however. As I turned on my camera, nothing happened. I was, admittedly, perplexed for a moment, when I realized that my battery was quite dead. Bummer. :/ Hopefully tonight, after the battery has charged, I will have a much better photo taking experience tomorrow.

Till then, werk hard and slaap lekker!
