Weekend in Maastricht

We spent last weekend with oma Matheij (grandma Matheij, my mom's mother) in her hometown Maastricht. This is a town in the very south of the Netherlands.

We visted the caves of Valkenburg in which there was a really nice Christmas fair.


"I like the candy" Baby Mr.T: "I pitty the fool"

The caves were really pretty and full of little christmas stands.





The town of Valkenburg has a very nice old city center.


Next to the caves, we also went to downtown Maastricht for a walk. As you can see, it's getting colder over here.

On the bridge, overlooking the Maas river.

If you're ever in the neighbourhood...

We had a very pleasant surprise yesterday evening when Cathy and J Jordan called to let us know they were in the country. After a trip to a film festival in Milan they traveled all over Europe and were in Holland one more night before flying back. So we had a very nice dinner with them and got to show them our home, it was great.

If anyone else is ever in the neighbourhood, don't hesitate to call :-)

Working on the car

Last weekend Ben changed some parts on our beautifull Volvo 440.

Ofcourse he didn't have to do it alone. There was lots of help from our neighbours.
