So I lurked my families blogs.
So I lurked the Hoffman's blogs (sorry about the slogging).
And I don't know if y'arel (you are all) lurking mine.
I'm in the Netherlands for a few brief days until Annie's arrival!
I'm interested to use the interaction as a seeming benchmark between me pre and me post my experiences in Europe. It has been snowing for the past five days and, "It doesn't show signs of stopping." (Am I quoting a song or dialogue from a movie?) It usually doesn't snow often here from what I hear and I've witnessed some warm country dwellers experience snow for the first time.
I like to watch the way that the Dutch do things. For instance everyone here bikes and no one wears a helmet. This becomes especially dangerous when people pile themselves and sometimes up to three children on their bicycles. While it has been snowing here they have set up rope tows in the major markets. I watched a woman and her child as they were pulled across the market on a tiny sled and thought about how easily something could go wrong.
Another thing that seems interesting is that in this snow storm the town is going crazy. Rumor has it that this is the largest snow storm for the past five years. It is obvious that the town is totally unprepared, but funny to see people inches away from passing trucks on streets covered in snow 30cm thick.
I'm just going to post some videos and photos for now with a quick update.
More to come.
