Random Amsterdam Things
Scottish Cows (Ayrshire) & Poodles
They met on a walk and I was glad to have the fence between us. The dogs didn’t care about the cow, but the cow never took his eyes off of us.
New Small Electric Cars in Amsterdam
Yes, they all drive on the roads in the city.
Mountain Climbing at 80
The parents and I visited Mt. Saint Helens today and rewarded ourselves with beer and fries at a local roadside bar afterwards.
We saw all of the viewpoints and educational centers along the way.
Hot day in Amsterdam
This cat accurately demonstrates how we feel in the city.
37 Celsius is 98.6 Fahrenheit. If we hit the 38C forecast, that’s 100.4F.
Jersey, Wedding Day
Small country church and reception in the garden of a private home.
Jersey, West Coast
Our friend Jerry and I did about 16km of hiking today up the west coast of Jersey. The tide here is amazing; it changes between 9. & 12 meters from low to high tide. That’s more than a 3 story building! So, at times the beach is huge and at other times it is very small. I’ve mostly seen low tide so far.
The weather has been unusually perfect here this week; remember it is basically part of England but not really. See https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jersey
Jersey, Day 2
We checked out Mont Orgueil castle today. It has a very rich history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mont_Orgueil?wprov=sfti1
I found it fascinating that the tide changes by about 12 meters! Notice the boats in the harbour that are sitting on the sand.
