Posted on December 9, 2009 by Dawn
Its so very nice to be warm and dry! Southern Spain is so wonderful and beautiful. We flew into Malaga and rented an apartment in Benalmadena on the Costa del Sol in Andalusia. We can see the ocean and hear the nightly church bells from our balcony and we have spent everyday walking the beach [...]

London, Brighton and Connie finds a new family
Posted on December 2, 2009 by Dawn
I’m not into big cities, even amazing ones like London. They overwhelm me, such hustle and bustle but we just HAD to see Big Ben because thats where Peter Pan and Wendy flew – right? While we’re here lets go to the Tower of London and see the Crown Jewels exhibit. The children enjoyed the castle [...]

Posted on November 1, 2009 by Dawn
It is so nice being in an English speaking country after trying so hard to fix our electrical problem in France. Why couldnt I remember more than a few words of French that I learned in high school? Anyway, I’ve always loved England. The last time I was here I really enjoyed myself and saw so [...]

Northern France and a real challenge
Posted on October 24, 2009 by Dawn
How exciting to drive into France. Would my two years of high school French kick in? And how cool is it that I’m now in the same country as my dear friend and associate, Eli, that I have talked with almost every weekday for 9 months.
We drove by Calais and then to Condette where we [...]
Our short time in Belgium

We were blessed to visit our friends Peter and Lieke and their family in Belgium. They are wonderful and generous with a house full of a great children. Shane really became friends with their youngest son Bavo – he said they were twins.
Bavo and his brother Arne tried to have a sleepover but we’re so [...]
The wonder of Volendam
Posted on October 4, 2009 by Dawn
Volendam was absolutely precious – so adorable you would think that Disney had a hand in its creation. Over the top cuteness. We walked along the top of the dike and saw ancient fishing boats next to a boardwalk of restaurants and souvenir shops selling little clogs.
After days of wet weather somehow we were blessed [...]
A delay, our first castle and grocery stores
Posted on September 27, 2009 by Dawn
Our RV was delayed and got to the dock in Amsterdam on Friday but wouldn’t be unloaded in time for us to get her until Monday morning. I’m so anxious to get her.
But we are enjoying our time at the farm and in our very comfortable apartment. The kittens continue to be a major love [...]
Netherland friends and finding a nice room
Posted on September 23, 2009 by Dawn
We’re in a little town named Woerden http://www.brinkbedbreakfast.com/SIGHTSEEING.html that is outside of Amsterdam. Everyone in Netherlands speaks English and everyone rides a bike. It is so beautiful, with thatched roofs, geese and swans, beautiful gardens and blonde and blue eyed kind people. The weather is just about perfect – maybe 70 degrees.
I had arranged a [...]
Last days, a very special birthday and take off -
Posted on September 23, 2009 by Dawn
Our last days seem to be a blur – they went so fast. There were so many little details to take care of.
Migrating my desktop to my new laptop, packing and cleaning the house, picking up last minute items, downloading our music to the new laptop, scanning important docs and memories along with our precious [...]
