Brommer trouble

It's not always roses and sunshine in the Netherlands. Sure, having a brommer to get around on is just absolutely awesome! But then again, it does also suck an extra lot when it stops running.

Luckily it was only a popped tire that had to be taken care of.
Nothing Ben and Thom can't handle.

Go Amsterdam Admirals!

Ever heard of a game called American Football? Sure, YOU guys have! For us Dutchies it's a little bit of a newer concept, but we're trying! We have, to be exact, one team in the European Football League, the Amsterdam Admirals. And although it may not be the best team in the world, it sure is fun to go to one of their games!

We went with our friends Jochem and Harry

May 5th 1945

May 5th 1945, the date on which the beautifull country of the Netherlands was given back to the Dutch after 5 years of German suppression. O, and by the way, it was you guys who gave it back to us, so thanks ;-)

In Nieuwegein, our home town, their was a re-enactment of a siege of the city. Everybody was dressed up in their '45 army get-ups and their was cool millitary equipment everywhere. Ofcourse, being a real American, it was no problem for Ben to climb into one of the Willy's jeeps.
