This blog is...

For my English-speaking friends, in the USA, or elsewhere in the world. I promised, as I was moving back home, to start a blog in English... it took me time, but now I'm doing it, and I'll try to keep up with it as much as I can!

Amsterdam while waiting for Spring to come!

In the States, there is "Spring break". In Switzerland, there is also a week off, but it's in February. For some people, it's just ski vacation, and for other, it's mainly "Carnaval" time. I'll be there next year to report more precisely about it!
This year, we skied together, a few days, and then, just the two grownups, Vladi and me, flew to Amsterdam to spend there 48h of "just the two of us time"!
It was a première for me, as I hadn't ever been to that place. It's so interesting and beautiful! Even in the not that nice weather that prevailed... 

Some people live in houses along the canals...
... while some prefer to live directly ON the water!


Holland - the Netherlands is... flat! It's paradise for cyclists! Old, young, men, women, dads with kids in special boxes on the bike, women with nice skirts... everybody rides a bike! And no helmet please!!!!!
