Back in the decadent West,
hooray!
Anneliese in where else? haar
geboortestad, the city of her birth, 20 years ago this summer
Amsterdam gables
gable closeup (the hook is
used to secure rope to hoist things to the upper floors)
Liese's Tante Rosalien and
her big brother Marcel at Rosalien's house in Amsterdam
Rosalien's living room...Europeans
tend to go for ultramodern interiors in their very old buildings
Marcel, Inge and Kim's new
house in Venray, Limburg Province,
about an hour and a half southeast
of Amsterdam, a half hour south of Nijmegen
Venray interior--everyone
in Holland ALWAYS has fresh flowers in the house
The 'hood in Venray, population
about 40.000 but like all Dutch municipalities,
a self-contained town with
a real central business district, not just a useless suburb
Kim and her dog, Dobby (named
after Harry Potter's
house-elf)
Anneliese and Dobby
Kim is in an English-speaking
school now and Anneliese
has expressed interest in
living in Holland after she graduates and learning Dutch,
so hopefully soon they will
speak each other's languages!
